It's coming along little by little. One of the toughest things was to make those stairs and get them to line up right with the plaform. Nevermind those "MILLIONS" of vertical railing poles and trying to get that texture right and have it match the horizontal rails. Pipes? Yeah, we got them, too. LOTS AND LOTS OF EM'. What the hell was I thinking when I started this. Hey, next time I say I'm going to model something of this magnitude, can somebody just bash me in the head repeatedly until I come to my senses? Seriously, though, I am enjoying modeling this even though it is a tough one. I'm being anal about precision and making sure things line up right and fit the way they should. In the long run, I guess it pays off. (Somebody please convince me of that) I still have a couple of large sections to model including the cranes and the main drilling tower. That will be the HUGE electrical looking tower sticking out of the top of it. Texturing it will be a whole different story, but I am running ideas through my head as to how I am going to do it as I am creating it.

Because I like to blow $%&# up.
