Editors used:-

Modelling/animation	: Lightwave 5.5 

Converting/clean-up	: QME, Q2modeler

Skinning/mapping	: NST

Bugs/comments/excuses   : The model is approx 3 heads taller than the standard male, This was a
			  specification by the clan who I was building it for at the time.  
			  Serious bounding box issue here people.  So watch out if you attempt 
			  to shoot him in the head, and when he is crouched...well, we won't go 
			  into that.     
			  The feet become quite jittery in a lot of scenes, I've got to find a 
			  better way of grounding the feet in lightwave...any suggestions?  
			  Thankfully, with Quake2's interpolation, all small jitters become 
			  unnoticeable in-game.  

			  Please don't neglect importing the weapon.md2  The animations look
			  rather strange without it.  
			  
			  A note to skinners: I wouldn't attempt to skin this thing unless you 
			  paint directly onto the model using a program like NST.  Due to the 
			  segmentedness (?)  of the model, the baseframe is seriously disjointed.  


Build/Animation time    : a few weeks, on an off.
