    Dame Lori - Definitely much better contrast now. Unfortunately, I have to get back to work too:(

    I really like the direction you guys are taking this. I felt the same way as several of you did, that something didn't seem quite right about the green hand. I also felt the darker, more gray/green would look better. Now that I see the black obsidian with white "star" speckles, I think I like it best of all. I also agree with changing the planets/moons to the goldish color of the planet in the palm. I'll see what I can do to get Bob/Stephen to play with those color suggestions.

    I'm liking things much more now. Although the serpent is getting a bit lost...

    LOL ah you guys! I don't think any more colors can be added to it XD Once it's moving you'll see the serpent better... but it would be fine in brass or copper. (personally I'm always more partial to copper/bronze than brass/gold)

    I'm sad that I don't have the Solidworks tools to make this style of model.
    As far as colors go, I'm happy to let more artistic folks than myself make the selections.
    I hope Bob and Stephen go with something similar to what Dame Lori has done here.

    Very unlikely. Normally stuff like this is just a unique item that only certain people have but there's always another item players can get or have access to that is more "common". Could be wrong but don't think I am unless a dev says otherwise. :)

    That will be awesome if they adjust it to Lori's specs. Great job by everyone, can't wait to have one of these on my balcony.

    Hey Dame_Lori, its probably decided already what its going to be but could you please make this one also with the grayish/green hand you made earlier? :) I would love to see how that turns out. :)

    Love the new colours.

    However, as an amateur astronomer, please see if you can make the outer bodies rotate slower than the inner bodies as they should. After all the effort of making this work of art, it should work properly!

    It depicts a star orbiting a planet, a 'shattered moon' that hasn't gravitationally drawn itself together again, and three other bodies which are being called planets when they're actually moons. I don't think any argument for realism can be made here.

    You lose detail if you use the black with speckle pattern. The more intense and the more contrast you have in a stone pattern runs the risk of losing detail in my opinion. I would prefer some type of stone though with a subtle pattern or even a shade gray.
