Model description       : not to much to say
				


Other info              : Manga Spawn was modeled off an action figure I have. 
			 I wanted to make a 3d model of spawn ever since I bought the toy. 
			 I like how it turned out and am pleased that the jug animations fit so 
			 well.For those of you living in a cave, spawn is a comic book character named 
			 Al Simons. Al did dirty deeds for the goverment killing lots of poeple I guess
			 He did his job so well the devil (malbauglia, how ever you spell it) 
			 sent him back to earth after he died. To see if he was fit to lead the army 
			 of the damned when armagedon came. Most polycounters have seen spawn models before,
			 but never a Manga Spawn model :D
			 
Back Story              : It is unkown exactly when spawn joined the tournament. There are several rumors 
			Floating around in Tourny Tabloid rags about the origin of spawn. My favorite comes
			form a well know Tourny rag called Bloody Tribune. here is a snip it for ya. 
			"Durring last weeks bombing run match an unknow entrant calling himself spawn,
			jumped the fence Picked up a plama rifle and started slaughtering the blue team. 
			No one knows if he will come again next week but many spectators are hopeful." 
			The pictures of spawn hopping the fence look fake. See for yourself I included them 
			in the zip file. I wouldn't put it past the tabliods to have rigged the whole event.
