Wow you guys have been busy! Some very nice variations on the design - LOve It. Thanks to stigzler for taking a bit of ownership of the thread and being a bit of a caretaker whilst I'm away (and I'm away most of the time).
I spent some time today tinkering with the artwork I did for the "Metropolis' theme, it has bothered me since I first posted it, this is the first opportunity I've had to revise it. It was just too colorful and busy and....well.....BLAHHH. So I've done much more muted version, I like it better anyhow. I added some speakers to the concept for a more complete design also.
Whilst I'm typing I might as well provide an update on life in general. Each weekend I'm hard at work preparing our property for sale this coming spring. Its winter now here for those that don't know I'm Australian. My to do list is getting shorter and we are well on track. In the past few months with the help of my wife I've moved something like 25 cubic meters of landscaping materials (sand, soil, rock, timber etc) around the property. My garage ceiling falling in after a freak storm was perhaps (in hindsight) the best thing to happen. It galvanized us into action with all the work that needed doing. Whilst the garage ceiling was repaired under insurance, the garage itself is stuffed full of furniture and other crap while we renovate. I really miss spending time on hobbies, particularly arcade building, but my current mission must take priority for now. I must apologise for not answering quite a few PMs, my notifications were switched off, hopefully my late responses are still useful.
Keep up the very good work guys.
