Also, this is a set of bits and pieces that will mix and match nicely with loads of other bits. These days, I rarely use anything just as it arrived "off the peg" or "out of the box." Just about the only time you'll see the model itself is when I'm test-driving it. This one is terrific. It'll also take textures very nicely too. Jade's verdict: 5 out of 5 stars.
No time to write any more, guys. Too busy today ... am packaging a book, and have been looking at various computer screens till my eyes are not working the way they ought to. So -- enjoy the artwork for today. Next post will be a hunk out of uniform!

***Posted by MK because the internet is AWOL. Intermittent crap. Be warned, guys: our connection is going to be in and out for a week or two, as of this point: Telstra (or whatever) is doing a lot of work on the landlines in this area. And as you know, if you've been looking at the "poster notes" on these journal entries in my looooong adventure through the world of CG, 3D and digital, even at the best of times we can find ourselves with dialup speeds in this area. This is why MK has been making many posts for me, since Day One -- Keegan has the fast connection, not me! (This should change in the near future, when the cables or whatever are updated, and they stop working on them. At least, s'wot Telstra promises.) Credit where it's due: this blog would not have been possible without the support of a pal with decent internet. Because ours sucks. We moved into this area about six months before I got into Studio and blogging about it, and I almost quit right there: DAYS to download something from the DAZ store, at one point. Argh. Thank gods for friends when you need 'em!
