Hi everyone,

I'm not really a .castlehead, but this "proof of principle" has taken a
Castle flavour so I'll post it there too--maybe you'll get a chuckle out
of it.  ;)

Just one? :-) I was LOL the whole time!

I have to say that's extremely creative, innovative and cool!

...now I'm sad I don't have that TIE bubble piece....

That's the exterior shot.  It shows the "eyeness" of the thing; I
considered trying to put a second eye next to it (I do have the pieces),
but then it would have screamed for eyebrows, a nose, et cetera, and
next thing I knew it would be morning.  Bad move.

LOL... Doesn't that sound familiar!

So you can take this
general design and apply it however you like; Znap surely is cheap
enough to do it (or to use the semi-Gothic elements to augment your
stonework).

Wow. It just occured to me, for a split second, that I could make a very very
cool creation with some gothic elements. I was thinking of this pic of a
gothic church I saw once in an architecture lecture... I wish I had a pic.
It's hard to explain, but it looks like you have two cylinders lying on their
rounded sides, crossing each other at 90 degrees, with the cross-sections
taken out; then you cut thru the horizontal center, and put the whole thing on
cloumns... and you get a four-way arched hallway intersecting at one spot.

I'll bet that doesn't make any sense; but it doesn't matter, because TLC
doesn't make any intersection arches. :-( Too bad, it would've been SO cool.
(OK, 'nuff digression)

Followed by a shot of the throne itself (a nice little chair, IMHO).
Pardon the shake, I couldn't get the tripod close enough.

I love it! I'll have to copy, I couldn't come up with a simple and elegant
throne myself... (a creative gal like me, who woulda thunk? ;-)

And, of course, "Friends Don't Let Friends Time Cruise":

ROFLOL! That's great! I agree with John-- make a t-shirt! Make a t-shirt! :-)
