We are so excited to be able to post this image. The project is nearly finished and this is one of the key areas that we spent so much time perfecting. First in the design and then in its execution. There is nothing that makes us happier than when the image actually looks exactly like the rendering (or better). Thanks to Greg Hollowaty for building the thing! And the team here at RA-DA for designing it!
