Good old Lynne_ that takes one off my list! (which is waayy too long anyway_and you guys here have made it even longer) How to prioritise???? Its interesting what you all say about the Poser cat. As a modeller, there's a couple of reasons I reckon no-ones been brave enough to attempt it_ firstly there's something intangible about cats_they are so familiar a part of our lives that it would take a particularly skillful modeller to capture that essence of cat (Its a bit like the human face_we know instinctivly when its wrong_anyone see that Sony add with the distorted girls face? And you know what we all feel about P5 Judy_she's an alien..why? Its because there's something not quite right). The poser cat is the same_ its just somehow 'wrong'i think its the face shape actually. I think another reason is that us modellers are artists too just got a bit side tracked in to modelling_ as an artist ones hates to rehash old stuff_likes to push the boundaries and "boldly go...etc" There's also the fear factor. We know the poser cat is a joke..just think of the humiliation in the forums..."have you seen Noggin's poser cat?_what a joke..and we thought the Poser cat was bad_it looks like its been cross bred with an Aardvark,or possibly Lynne's Lama.And you can bet there'll be some pretty vocal cat lovers out there (I know I'm one!)You're safe with a peacock! Still you guys are making me think..not because I want to make the cat that makes a mint..just sort of wondering whether to pick up the guantlet.......?
