As usual, excellent work solo!
Just a quick question, how did you model the road? It looks fantastic.

Pav

Is anyone else finding it really hard to believe that the second one is a rendered model?

he he.

Excellent work!

I'm on a flag kick here. . .This Union Jackdidn't map all that bad. There's a glitch in the second image. . .Check out the width of the top center red band.

Sorry to be a geek, but unless it's on a boat, it can't be called the Union Jack, anything else is just a plain old Union Flag.

Wicked model though!

Pav

yes, yes i am!

thank you very much Mike.

Regards

Pav

Thanks for the feedback mike, I think upon your recomendation I shall now man-up and purchse one.
Could you upload before and after shot? sorry to be a pain!

Thank you

Pav

It's 6º here in Winchelsea, South East England.

Sitting in front of a nice fire though.

Pav

ha ha, genius stinkie.
What would you have said if she asked to borrow €100?

Please refrain from calling me Lucy though, where I come from that is highly offensive.

Pav

so it's decided then? everyone needs to chill out a bit?

wicked.

Pav

Clearly this thread has gone waaaaay to far.

Can't see anyone really changing their stance, but it's fun trying!

Personally I don't see a problem with harry's remarks given the circumstances.

Good thread!

Pav

I am constantly called wop, Hairy I ty, dago, greaseball, and of course guido.
It's affectionate 99% of the time, and the 1% that it isn't, i'd like to think i'm smart enough to let it go.
Sometimes people say offensive things, whether intentionally or not.

Big deal.

With regards to "Gangsta rap", lets not forget that the word nigger originated as a term used in a neutral context to refer to black people, as a variation of the Spanish/Portuguese noun negro. (courtesy of wikipedia he he)

If however someone EVER called me sicilian, then i'd really have to open up a can of whoopass.

Yes, one black person to another, but that doesn't mean it's acceptable. But a more closer analogy would be a white person calling his/her black friend a nigger, and that I have not heard (and it ending peacefully).

I have a friend who I call nigger, and he calls me white nigger, not once have we had a fight.
Yes I am poking fun, but not at my friend, at racism.
Like Remus said, if you're not meaning it as an insult, then what's the problem?
I refuse to refrain from saying what I feel I can say just for the fear of upsetting people to whom the comment was not directed.

Oh and Mr S, you took the words right out of my mouth. Well said.

Pav

Nah I agree with remus, blown waaaay out of proportion.

Pav

I have got to get me one of those

Pav

does it warm your tyres in wintery conditions?

that is, unfortunately the best I could come up with.

Pav

That is beautiful!

Thank you very much for sharing.

Pav

That would be amazing. I thank you in advance!

Really strange, but my maths teacher said exactly the same thing.
Spooky.

Pav

ok, how did you do that? I love it!

it's like you're sculpting with clay, but in sketchup.
I'm blown away! I tried modelling my beetle recently, but there are so many curved surfaces on it I can never quite get it right.

This is an inspiration though, thank you.

Pav

loving the onion remus!

in a similar vein, check out the mactini

it's awesome.

Pav

Granted, but now all your other wishes have been made redundant.

I wish I knew what you know, as if I knew what you now know, then i'd know a lot more than I know now. I've heard what you know is worth knowing you know.

Pav

Proof once and again that excellent modelling yeilds excellent renders.

Just beautiful.
