shock absorber thingy discs 

= Buffers

You're quite right. I'm trying to get a 'used' look on them anyway......
Thanks for looking.

Actually, I noticed a huge error that I have to fix asap......Turns out I've set the buffers and 'license plate' too high so I've got to lower that assembly a couple of units....sigh.

In case anyone's interested, this is much more difficult that the Crystal Palace thing. For a start everything has to be built from scratch and seperate from the main scene file just to save time. Each item then has to go through a 'development' phase to see where I can reduce the byte-size and make it look better. Mutli-rep has only a limited use here.
Thankfully the render times are only seconds or a couple of minutes tops. A high-rez render is about 38 minutes.

I did have a laugh a few days ago though. A friend popped in, noticed my reference photos and told me that he thought my model was looking really good.............even though Bryce wasn't running at the time!
