Mother fucker, just spent /ages/ waiting for *just* the right lighting to take a nice screenshot, and when I looked at the saved PNG it's just all black. WTF?

Haha, it's like a Goth Eiffel Tower. No. Not finished. And I've got a fuck ton of stuff to do today. Rome wasn't built etcetc.

Actually, I was quite impressed with how la defense was looking, you should build that big black tower block next to it too.

In the interests if full disclosure, I was very 'inspired' by this page (at least for the legs anyway...)

Wow, is Tuesday now part of the weekend?

(By which I mean minecraft.net usually works fine all week and then just as the weekend turns up, which is usually when everyone wants to play it, it goes down and not GET BACK TO WORK YOU SLACKER :@ )

It seems it was done for a few hours :( If the authentication server code is anything like as bad as the multiplayer server code I'm not surprised it falls over every time two people try and play minecraft at the same time (fail)

Oh, don't know if you worked out how to specify damage levels or not for wool etc., but it's just id:damage, so /item 35:15 64 for 64 black wool :D

I've surprised myself with how the proportions seem to be somewhere near. Did start to look at a 3D model of the real thing and decided I couldn't be arsed and did the thing any self respecting Yorkshire man would do. I eyeballed it :Y

 

I think I've made it too long though. :$

According to Wikipedia, it should be:

Yeah, I got that somewhere neat but half size. I'm eyeballing everything else.

Can't beat a bit of eyeballing :C

By which you mean "the bit that goes vertically upwards and is pretty hard to get wrong"? :P

Um, no, I mean everythign above the bit where the legs meet.

That's just a bit of string round the knees. The legs haven't met there. :L

yes they have. The way I built it, anyway :C

Good lad. I think stuff done by eye looks better anyway. Sometimes you have to exaggerate things to make them look right in another context :Y
