The clock tower is usually part of a church or municipal building such as a town hall, but many clock towers are free-standing.<BR/><BR/>The mechanism inside the tower is known as a turret clock. It often marks the hour (and sometimes segments of an hour) by sounding large bells or chimes, sometimes playing simple musical phrases or tunes."<BR/><BR/><B>Sun Dial</B>: "A sundial is a device that measures time by the position of the Sun. In common designs such as the horizontal sundial, the sun casts a shadow from its style (a thin rod or a sharp, straight edge) onto a flat surface marked with lines indicating the hours of the day."<BR/><BR/>It seems to me Dany' model is very, very close to the second one.<BR/>What he calls a tower could be named rod.<BR/>Maybe he could substitute the "Mechanical clock" with sun dials, so it could be a clocktower.COSEDIMARCO©https://www.blogger.com/profile/14832759101174338659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4986990254141180682.post-24123806852198560192008-09-09T12:27:00.000-07:002008-09-09T12:27:00.000-07:00I think that Dany's idea is good and it should be ...I think that Dany's idea is good and it should be accepted. The definition of (according to Merriam Webster) is any periodic system by which time is measured. A sundial seems to fit that description. And his sundial seems to be in tower form. Furthermore I see nothing in the challenge description that says the time keeper in the tower has to be mechanical. By definition and the set goals in the description of the challenge, it seems to me that Dany has covered the requirements with his model.C.J.

And no it isn't a Copyright problem. Its about one word. "stadium". in a tag. I put the word "stadium" not in the tags, and its not on this one particular site but I guess there's people that just plain need someone to harras. Yep, I'm being harased. Thats exactly what I'll be telling Google today. Both the main office and the one here in NYC. Fortunately the word is in a Story line. Not even in a Tag. But they insist it is, unless someone's altering the words between this server and theirs? But the same same people leeve the same stupid, immature comments regarding this. So firstly I'm very lucky that there statements can't be erased and it'll be my proof of what's going on through the Google Sketchup program.

It is still allowed to post a link to your model or additional images, but it is not required anymore to submit a model to the challenges. The 3D Warehouse tag is still required though and should be added when uploading a model to the Warehouse.<BR/><BR/>You can use the hyperlink code creator on the frontpage of the blog to create the code for a hyperlink in your message. Copy this code and paste it in the comment box on the place where your want the hyperlink to be.<BR/><BR/>Challenge suggestions are welcome to be placed on the blog. Items will be noted and compiled on the moderator’s list. At that point, the initial comment for the suggestion may be deleted so as to maintain a streamline challenge thread for use of posting entries for the challenge and comments to models. Challenge suggestions have always been welcomed and taken under consideration.<BR/><BR/>Please refrain from using background images in your models as it is the model itself that is being judged.<BR/><BR/>You'll notice a new link on the main page that directs you to the First Place Certificate area to which winners are able to print a certificate with a picture of their model detailing their excellence.
