Is this about to develop into a lingam in a Hindu temple?

Just curious...

See you in Khyberspace!

Wow! That is quite a reference, and one I was totally ignorant of. 
Apparently I have been mmodelling lingam's without realizing it!  And 
strangely appropo.


No the work was toward doing this Fon tribe Bocio figure from the 
Metropolitan Museum in NY

But progress is...um...gradual :|

The dribbled, drizzled, caked on, dried, 'sacrificial materials' is. I 
believe, animal blood mixed with soil, usually.

It looks very real. All you need is a shiny, slightly reflective finish and
you're getting dangerously close to the eggs from the Alien films.

At the same time, intriguing and disquieting object; fascination and vague 
repulsion mingled. It goes well with your etnic masks. Excellent job, Jim.
...and technically well done of course!

Thanks Thomas, yes I am back to plunking away at the African artifacts 
interest.  At least I am having fun organizing the program code. 
Hopefully once I get the code more manageable I can tweak towards some 
better realism, but don't feel real confident of the outcome just yet. 
But apparently I have accomplished some alien eggs to a degree of 
satisfaction.  Maybe I should be less stubborn and go with the alien thing.
