Babylon 5 Mod

[mlmbd]

Timstone, well I am glad and sad. I am sad you couldn't do it exactly like you wanted. But, I am glad you found a way to make it work!
How ingenious, using another globe! Never would have thought of that!

You are Welcome. Always, thinking.

TAInT King; is very interesting, indeed. Need a little time to digest it all.

Oh, Thanks for taking post #2400 away from me!

MlmBD: No thanks, the pleasure was all mine.

[Timstone]

What?! Still no comments? Strange. Oh well, I'll go to sleep now, maybe in the morning.

[pathfinder]

Timstone: Sorry but had to take youngest to Doc as soon as i got home (wrist injured). I like your ideas for the Ancients

[Nomor]

Timstone: Game over man.... game over... we're all gonna die...
How we fit these Ancients in anyway?
Do you think Val had too much of a good time.. maybe?

[mlmbd]

Timstone, I read through TAInT King text. I like it very much! Sorry for the delay. Got caught up with some images!

PF, is your child OK? Hope so!

Nomor, Val did say 2 weeks. Seems like a lot longer though!

mlmbd

[pathfinder]

mlmbd: yeah, just bad sprain. she slipped/tripped at school....stuff happens

As for Val...yeah and if he is back, he is on a new project...long hours..

[Timstone]

And what is the name of the project Val is working on? Wife?? Hehe...

As soon as I'm done with the Ipsha shipset (it's going to take a while), I'll direct my attention to the Ancients. Or maybe a bit sooner. Yes, it's a nice job while I'm rendering. Yes, I'll do a little of both at the same time.

[mlmbd]

PF, well I am glad to hear she didn't do something major! KIDS, eh?!?

Timstone, again with the waiting! I am not going to just sit here and wait for this, though! I will be very interested to see what new things are up with the Ancients!

Vals new project(s)?
