RamboTRS server

I have to reference back to my previous post, I'd like to point out that a lot of what I've been showing recently Is pictures from the "Lets Show RamboTRS" server which from what I've seen Is mostly populated by German or German speaking folk,

I have to give a LOT of respect to them for their Build which dwarves Tacobuilders bridge, at a quick check this monster is around 512 blocks long (it disappears in fog!!!)

So, for the work that RamboTRS and iami30 do, just because they can, hats off!!





I also spotted a little bridge which I quite liked as it was built on an angle! So it is for that reason (ie: that unlike everything else, its built deliberately on a 45 degree angle) here is a little picture of it.


There is also PLENTY of Mario and Nintendo retro/8-bit cartoon iconography littering the landscape, all of which gets the Ol_joe seal of approval!

As a small reminder; My texture contest ends TOMORROW!! so if you haven't voted come see what's going on! >> http://manicdigger.sourceforge.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=578

And as a post reminder, just for the curious, my Super Mega All-Encompassing Ultra Skinfest 2011 (shortened to SMEAEUS 2011 ) is drawing closer, All the skins I have made in ONE place, the old ones I've already posted and MANY new ones!! so If you need a new skin to impress your Manic Digger Pals, be sure to stay tuned!

Meanwhile, back on the ranch.

Here is a little look back at some things which have otherwise escaped my rantings...


A nice 'Eiffel Tower' style build.

Hello to "Ian"

More Gronkh fans!

Whump! There are plenty of 'mario' or
'8-bit' builds


In the time I have actually done something.. it was mostly this... a HUGE build of the Golden Gate Bridge on exe creative 5 (from the spawn point: turn around, go to the anti-vandal side, and off to the right (there is a rail link from the Oasis)




Many thanks to Jay-Jay for helping.

A different view, complete with
'The Statue' in the background.

Looks great at night.

This was a build by Tacobuilder, with help from me and a couple other people, I hope you visit! 

Just to keep things interesting... there is (at the time of writing) a test version dated 05 - 03 - 2011 ... exe is working damn hard on things at the moment. And others are beginning to assists with creating code or building versions for other platforms... to all these people THANK YOU!!!
