No it wasnt 5 mins work...more like quite a few hours. I agree it is simple but I also remember that complexity was not a requirement. The Challenge was to produce a fast looking object. Texture wasnt required but would be advantageous. My skills are fine and Im happy to enter it as a noob and learn a bit...you dont learn to bleed unless you have had a go.
I will however say this.....whilst finding time to hone my skills I have been Surveying...so building a real environment takes precedence mate...that pays the bucks.
I will try to improve of course...I have a couple of days to alter shapes....
