Guest Unregistered Posted: July 04 2009, 01:44 Was it difficult to make the right shape and what material did you use? (except straws, the last time you was drunk ) I really think there is a market for TB's in different "situations" -   small TB's in a container with colored liquid, as a sculpture placed on a wooden/stone foot as such things. I find the shape kind of intriguing and unusual & I see some of you also puzzle about in the artwork/wallpapers section here on Tubular.Net Of course there would be some copyright thing needed to be discussed with MO but that lies further down the road. I know several who like the figure without knowing the association with MO/TB...so it is not just fans who are intrigued and it might be possible to make some interest of this thing...

I don't have a pic because I find it quite hard to shoot properly. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top
