WOW! Amazing job Ben! Love the renderings. Like I said before, I really like how you don't try to hide the studs and other flat areas on your models; it makes your models look raw and very utilitarian. Oh, and I could care less about whether it can (...) (23 years ago, 28-Feb-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)
