Just as well I checked out your channel for other gems that I may or may not have missed.. ;0 ) That beachcreature thingy was eaxtraordinarily magnificent, even if it suffered from wind.. :)

@BasicModelling It was pretty impressive! (they had some technical difficulties getting it going through the thick sand but it was still pretty cool :)

@audionautix you always get it! Thanks Jason, I'm working on being 'myself' - what I'm finding is that it takes a lifetime to work it out!
