      More research into Digital Prototyping lead me to the website of Scott Eaton.
      I was intrigued by this little guy, his ipod docking station.
      Screen shot 2012-02-25 at 6.28.42 AM.png
      His education which includes a Masters from MIT Media Lab, and also traditional studies at the Florence Academy of Art, have certainly combined to bring about some interesting career choices, including work with Steven Spielberg, and on the Harry Potter films.
      What may be of real interest to some on this Forum, are his Tutorials. http://www.scott-eaton.com/tutorials
      Much on sculpting (digitally) the human form, mostly in ZBrush.
      And should you really wish to up the anti, he is offering an online course in figure sculpture starting in April. http://www.scott-eaton.com/digital-figure-sculptureScreen shot 2012-02-25 at 6.42.48 AM.png

        Hi, dale:
        I am still following your excellent thread. Keep up the good work.

        I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

          Concerning Alberti, Leo Battista (1404-1472)
          This link, especially for collectors:

          and these interesting articles about him (in french I'm sorry)

            Simon. You always seem to be able to find the most interesting online documents 👍

            This caught my attention:Screen shot 2012-02-26 at 6.38.37 AM.png

              Do you think "A VINTAGE SEQUENCE" would be interesting?

                  The first car I remember riding in. . .my parents owned a 1959 Studebaker Lark. It was even this color.

                  Awesome car.

                                          Seems with that tub and sink set, you might not want to move too vigorously, or the water might slosh over the sides.

                                          I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.
