looks like everyone was at the beach. Going to re-try this in a week or two? I have a fun one to post:

I machined topographic terrain and then hand-painted the whole thing. This is ‘v1’ of the project, working on a revision for a v2. It’s Denali park in Alaska.

I’ll write it up in more detail if we’re going to have the competition and such.
