# About me
I'm kind of a writer mostly, but I've gotten back into taking pictures again recently.I like Sega video games the most, and my main interest would probably be in arcade games. Although, I don’t own any. :D I suppose I’m mostly interested in the Model 2 to NAOMI era. I dunno.
I also like “modern” (newly made) fountain pens, and I have a small collection of various computers for certain reasons. ;P (7 in total, but only 6 of them work properly.)
My gallery is a bit of a mish-mash of things I like, including 3D stuff that usually is of no relevance to anyone but me! :D
Thank you in advance to those who give me llamas and faves. If I don't thank you, it may be that your DA page takes too long to load on my dial-up connection. (Got a broadband connection now, but that’s not an invitation to go berserk! :D) Especially those of you with half a zillion stamps and other enormous pictures. But I do appreciate your thoughts. :-)
I do like thank you messages for llamas and favourites, even though I don’t give them willy nilly. Just avoid advertising anything if you do say cheers! ;-)
In a related matter, please don't fave my work just to advertise your own stuff. This really annoys me and it’s happened several times now. If you like my pics, fave them by all means, but don’t do it just for the sake of getting my attention.
Plus, don’t fave my Morrowind plug-ins unless you’ve actually played them. It often happens that I upload one, and someone instantly faves it. You CAN’T have played it through that quickly. :-(
Current Residence: Earth
Favourite genre of music: Pop
Windows music player of choice: XMPlay
Mac music player of choice: Cog

Favourite Cartoon Character: Bender, probably.
Current game consoles: Atari 2600, Mega Drive, Saturn, Dreamcast, XBOX, GameCube, XBOX 360, DS & Neo•Geo Pocket Colour. ;-) (I don’t play the portable ones much.)

Hi John.
I've just seen your wonderful blue Sparton Nocturne 1, 3D Model. I too am interested in this radio being a superb mix of Art Deco and Radio Technology of the time.
I wonder :-
How did you get the dimensions proportioned accurately?
What CAD package did you use?
If the 3d model available please for download or purchase?
BW,
Mark.

Thank you for having a look!
Well, I hope I got the dimensions proportioned correctly. It was just done by visual observation of pictures of the real radio.
I used the free program, Art Of Illusion.
I’m not planning to sell or offer the model separately. Sorry if that’s any disappointment to you.

You can make a 3D picture of Gumby, Pokey, Minga, Goo, and Prickle in it. Right?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I didn’t do Minga. Ooh, where is this heading? Do I feel a request coming on?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Okay. I'll show you a picture.

Cheers for showing me. I don’t usually do requests though.

Seeing as you've been to Sega World, what was their Nickelodeon TV Machine like? Was there lots of Rocko? (get the joke?)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sorry, I’d forgotten completely about this feature of the place, until I checked one my old guides / map things from there. But yeah, I never went to this part of it. I was mostly interested in the arcade games. Although I did go on Rail Chase & VR-1.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Rail Chase was pretty cool. It was like a small roller coaster. The other one you had to wear this VR headset thing, and you were flying about if I remember. I couldn't get it in focus though. That was towards the end when you paid the one fee for everything for all day. When they 1st opened, you had cards that you used to pay for stuff.

Didn't Sega put out a VR thing with Michael Jackson in it? Also, the R360.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, AS-1 had Michael Jackson.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I can see why they took it out... (hint: little boys)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I wasn’t aware it had been taken out prior to the close down anyhow. I’m not sure if I even went on that one.

Hey sorry for responding to you with the wrong answer! Meant to reply to someone else Also, you're welcome on the fav!

That’s okay, I saw this message 1st anyhow.
