Very nicely done, Hector!

Looking good. I marvel at how anyone can make those column tops.

Thank you, Bryan.
I do, too; those columns are a component made by someone else many years ago.

thanx

impressive modeling, Gubermensch

An obscure, nondescript building I saw on British television, and figured it's be an easy model.

Very nice. Seems a bit surreal (to me) to have two large images of the bay flanking a large view of the bay. For added realism, you need to re-orient the wood grain 90 degrees on the top and bottom pieces of the picture frames, with the corners mitered.

Beautiful design and renderings, Jo-ke.

It was a pleasure working with Hector (Serrot). I tried to make sure he made all the design decisions (I always hated it in architecture school when professors tell a student what to design), giving him practical advice and whether or not I liked a particular aspect, or how to improve on a concept. It was very interesting to see what he came up with. For someone without architectural training, he's done an excellent job. He probably won't admit it, but it was probably frustrating for him, as I had a lot of other stuff to deal at the time and my responses to him weren't always in a timely manner.

Richard, the open kitchen concept is rather ubiquitous in this country, as well, but my personal tastes tend to be more traditional when it comes to kitchen. Maybe it's because I tend to make large messes when I attempt to cook, and I am not always quick to clean-up - out of sight, out of mind.

All those architecture posters - looks like your client is a single-minded person. You should find more interesting clients.

Looks great, tuna.

Beautiful images. But where are the penguins?

Excellent job, John.

Even after it's been pointed out, the repetitive use of the same texture still doesn't jump out at me. By changing its scale and using it on different planes, I think he did a great job of doing a lot with the same texture.

There was a series of these, but the original is the best:

Fantastic job, novena. Would love to see more of the model.

Mike, the move to a more digital currency (which started decades ago in the US with the advent of debit cards) will not eliminate crime, only transform it. As evidenced by the rise in cyber crimes, such as identity theft. Nowadays, a thief no longer has to have physical access to your money to rob you blind.

Back in '89 I worked briefly in a bank as a coin wrapper, housed in the bank's vault. Even back then there was surprisingly little money in the vault, since most transactions by then were done electronically. That is why the U.S. Treasury stopped printing large denominations.

Amazing work, as usual, Pete.

Beginner, no need to buy blueprints. You can find many Star Wars blueprints for free on the internet. If Lucas Arts or one of it's affiliated artists made a blueprint, chances are a fan-boy has copied it and posted it somewhere.

No cheap wood paneling?
