Sorry I haven't posted a picture in a bit. Here's a recent one and I'll be posting more progress very soon

Hey Robb, I'm a huge fan of 'old school' effects. The digital stuff done today is amazing but to me, nothing beats the look of a well-done model or a good in-camera effects shot (imho). Even when it doesn't quite look real, it still has it's own cool reality. I guess I just really appreciate the hand-made aspect of it. I still try to do things that way at work if I can get away with it. :)

Speaking of Mr. Abbott, have you ever read his book 'Special Effects: Wire Tape and Rubber Band Style'. Great book. Early issues of Cinefex are great for that stuff too. I've gotten that magazine since the first issue. My brother and I did lots of experimentation on super 8--from double exposures to scratching/animating laser beams onto the emulsion side of the film.(Oop, forgot I was posting on Tiki Central there for a second)........and...uh....there were tikis....um...everywhere!

Harro, Sparklegem, Polynesiac, I'll try to take a few house pics this week although I kinda want to wait until those rooms are completely done.

Thanks again for the nice comments and feedback you guys.
