Model Notes:	Ok, its my first player model, plus my first time using Max in anger. Thats my excuse
                The model was originally going to be for Q2, but well, I 'm no good at animation, and so it sat 
                unfinished in a lonely folder on my hardisk. But then Max and HL came along allowing me to build 
                models with having to animate them, so it became a HL model. The model has its faults, it has
		been forced on to the Valve biped, and the vertices are not arranged in the best way to prevent
		deformation when it moves. The skin mapping isn't ideal either.
		The next model will be MUCH better. ;) ( I may try doing some anims as well, I have to learn )

Tools used:  	Mesh			: Inspire 3D 1.0  ( So much nicer to use the 3ds Max )
		Mapping and bonning 	: 3D Studio Max R2.5 and Character Studio 2.0
					  ( Arrgg! the  Max interface is so infuriating )
		Skins			: Corel Photpaint 8.0
					  ( I'm the only person in the world that prefers this to Photoshop)
		Compiling		: StudioMDL	
		Viewing			: Mdlviewer v2.1.0402
					  Half-Life Model Viewer v1.0

Other:  	I often can be found as "Gundam", late at night	on Barry's world and other UK servers, 
                playing Half Life, TFC,  Action Quake2 or Tribes
		( I'm the one being shot at a lot , you can't miss me )
