Hi Larry,
have you followed the link I gave in my post above? You would have found a lot
of pictures in higher quality showing the models I built and used for the
April fool joke.
It would have been a hard work to do these better pictures as a fake on real
ones, which would have been made by a still unknown third party....
I would have had only 36 hours to do this fake of a fake. No, I think that
would have been impossible to me. (The real joke took me over approximated 150
hours in preparation...)
What is in your opinion the best way to make it prove in yours and everyone
elses eyes?
Sincerely,
Ben
(And yes, I'm a little proud having fooled the big ++Lar for at least one day.)
