Studlessness is overrated, all it really says is that youve got the cash
for hundreds of tiles.

Using a lot of tiles is, in my view, sort of a cheat. True Studly-lessness
is achieved because youre so SNOTed that theres no real top that needs
tiling.

Yeah, I spose youre right. Most of the time, though, thats what people do,
slather tiles over a design until youve ruined the shape for the sake of
studlessness. Now I will be sleeping, I have class tomorrow.

Um, I think that youve had class for quite some time, not just tomorrow ;-),
sorry, couldnt resist...
But, seriously, your point (and Larrys) re: tiles is well taken, though I
believe there is a way to use tiles judiciously and effectively. Your OMC is a
fine example of just the essentials and it all appears very functional. Those
fingers on the main arm are pure genius. I just worry that the pilot might
inadvertently try to scratch his head. Ouch.
Anyway, nice work and dont let the sheepnorks at it.
Peace and manipulators,
Professor Whateverly
