I like the ring propeller shape in the back... How did you do it...?
I also started in on the blobing madness... My piece is starting to look like a
mars rover but since i only have the chaise who knows...?
I like the lettering in the corner for IRIDIA...
How do you pronounce that... Is it like Orida fries...?
The TonyB-2000 sounds like a cheesy r&b group like Back Street Boys or
N-Sync...
As for a good name to the acronym ...??...
How about IRIDIUM instead...( metallic chemical )
