Another agree from me, nothing like him. Hate to say it as it's a charity thingy.

Yep! I third that statement about them being too low res. Tis a pity.

I like it the way it is.

Can 'links' always open in a new window please, I sometimes get lost trawling another site & have to click back ten times or more to find you again.

Sounds like Lysenko's thesis all over again. Just don't go there!

My daughter is a very bright child, top of her year group within her school. This was picked up as soon as she went to pre-school although we knew she was smart from a very early age.

She has an amazing memory, able to retain a huge number of facts that interest her. Things 'that interest her' being the important part to me. We could have sat her down in front of a world map at the age of one or so & gotten her to learn it pretty quickly, I'm sure. No, didn't want to do it for the grandstanding factor. She could name many many children's programme character's, animals, foods at that age, but we didn't boast about it to the world.

I hope these gifted children find some normality in their adult lives.

Coal tongs for sure. Christ, I remember the coal man delivering coal to our cellar when I was a kid in the 60's. Coal tongs were always brass.

What about making it of reindeer pelts & providing hallucinogenic mushroom punch along with hairy straws?

I like his photo's but the site is rather ugly with regards to navigation.

Speaking of which, could 'Neatorama' please open links in a new window as I keep losing you as I dig into the ether.

Really enjoy your site! I'm here most days to aee what you've posted.

Is it the ice pick used to kill Trotsky?

Ant Dude, do think about going digital! I was upgraded to a digital hearing aid a few years ago & the clarity is so much better than analogue. It also has a damping filter that shuts out noise & will focus the voice of the person directly in front of you.

You forgot "The Hunger" in 1983 with Catherine Deneuve, an early Tony Scott movie.

They aren't too bad but there are far better examples out & about. http://www.evolution-of-genius.de/gallery/default.htm or http://www.bathsheba.com/gallery/

The models are made with a free application called TopMod & probably rendered in Maxwell. Rapid prototyping of Topmod sculptures is now becoming cheaper. Google 'Shapeways' site.
