OMG and you got the rubber ducky! Isn't that an automatic win?

yep it looks like a good page I was just teasing about the rubber ducky. it's like the pink storm trooper on one of the other pages.

Just a little teaser here... none of the furniture will be inside a house. But I'm still planning on using every model.

Okay! That took forever... but 47 of the 50 objects imported into my scene. 2 had errors and I don't know what happened to the last one, I may find it eventually. Here we are... The ones that I think are the most random are the ear and the "cake". And the door latch :S. But I will use them all. Just hope sony doesn't sue.

I think you should make the ear a tray of nuts on a table next to a cake on the table!

Haha.... I think it's actually a closet storage unit but it's facing the wrong way... hahaha.

But there's some pretty crappy models here. That being said, there's some really quite good ones that I wouldn't think would be free. There's a saladin tank that's pretty sweet (hiding behind the paint can) and the chevy (in front of the paint can) has interior and everything modelled.
