thanks, I cannot upload wire right now. I had to travel to another town(if it can be named like that) and rent a room at a hotel. Its kinda expensive and that moves me to tears. I am all exhausted, destructed, smacked down, beaten up, discouraged, faithless, my feet are worn out and ache terribly and so forth and finally I found an INTERNET CAFEEEE YES! Tomorrow Im gonna be english-examined which is required before I set foot in english soil next month. HAIL TO ENGLAND! (I hope)

Wish me luck user added image

That's a lot of duplicating... and why does it take 2 hours to render!? If you have raytracing on then you might want to turn it off or optimise it so that only metallic objects actually recieve rays.

The picture is ok but nothing too special, sorry :o
