Please don't take this as an insult, but....

That layout almost looks like it's not made from LEGO.  :)

The reason I mean this to be complimentary is that it's just so clean and
smooth looking.  It looks not unlike a commercially produced game, where the
pieces have been molded in exactly those shapes... rather than a collection
of small bricks put together.  Normally I'm not a huge fan of the 'no studs
showing' look, but in this case I'm very impressed.

I can only *assume* that was the look you were going for so if it was, then
I would say a job well done!

I hope that if this link is temporary, you'll find a more lasting home for
this pic.  Are there or will there be instructions for it sometime?

I'm really impressed by all the work in this thread.  As I mentioned earlier
in the thread, I'm really hoping that other games find life in LEGO brick
versions.  I have one idea, but am going to flesh it out a bit before
posting any details.

All the best!
