Tricky Modeling Problem Overcome by Lateral Thinking Our roving reporter caught up with veteran modeler PhilC as he emerged triumphant from the Patent Office. Obviously pleased with his results he granted this news service an exclusive. "I had been up against a brick wall with a very tricky problem and frankly was starting to hit the bottle.", PhilC admitted. "Then I realised that the answer was staring me in the face. Lateral thinking? Who can say? I just hope that this technique will be of benefit to others" Remember you heard it first on this Forum.

I must be overworked, Phil, because I still don't get this. Is it a joke, or just an ad?

Not sure about this one, it's a bit more subtle than posette's texturing. I presume that he couldn't get the ship in the bottle so built the bottle around the ship. This would make a great curiosity image in a gallery somewhere, it sort of makes you think.

By now I'm sure you have realised that I do not think in straight lines :)
