Buco: Thanks for the explanation, I know all that already but I tried it with all the projection axis, off sets, rotations... and it still didn't look right.
I'll try a little more though.
Philip: That would be great. I will also contribute the ones I used (other than the board :p ).
...and remember: hero is only one letter away from zero...
