Description
It's been predicting weather with 89% accuracy non-stop since 1932.
***
Dedicated to all those blow-dried tv weathercasters, oops, I mean meteorologists, who, with all their computers and drama classes, still can't predict better than the average old-timer with their woolie caterpillers and ancient method of actually looking up in the sky.

Great pic. The water and the waves are excellent, I think you only have to improve the mountain behind.
Excellent modeling, and the waves are fantastic...
Great work!
I think I read somewhere that you can forecast the weather with 80% accuracy just by saying "tomorrow it will be the same as today" - and that's still more accurate than the TV weather. :)
A great maritime feel, with the waves and the rusty paintwork combining into an evocative image. I like the mountain too - just the right amount of distance haze for me, anyway.
high quality work
What crazy machine lol! Really funny and wonderful buddy!V
If it's not broken...don't fix it! Great waves! Another ingenious design, Dave! If it rains before seven, it will quit by eleven!
i love it! looks like the 'new model' - still using the '3500' here.
heehee, delightful as always
I am ashamed to admit I had been duped by the international lunar pull conspiracy...
Fun machine piece. Looks like it's working hard. Nice modeling and idea!
He he he... :-) Cool pic.
Fascinating thingamabob! Does it do math homework too?
This is good stuff...
