Using a lot of tiles is, in my view, sort of a cheat. True Studly-lessness is achieved because you’re so SNOTed that there’s no real top that needs tiling.

Yeah, I s’pose you’re right. Most of the time, though, that’s what people do, slather tiles over a design until you’ve ruined the shape for the sake of studlessness. Now I will be sleeping, I have class tomorrow.

Um, I think that you’ve had class for quite some time, not just ‘tomorrow’ ;-), sorry, couldn’t resist...

But, seriously, your point (and Larry’s) 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 don’t let the sheepnorks at it.

Peace and manipulators,

Professor Whateverly
