Well that's some clever usage, because it leaves me puzzling over the main body.

I'll say.  The placement of all of those little pieces makes me wonder if it was
done by eye and feel, or if there was some analytical geometry involved.
Tapping an arrow key to nudge a shape in a modeler is vastly more attractive for
most projects than calculating the depth of an arc, given a certain span it
needs to nestle into, or any of that stuff....
