* Construction *

Base                    : Weapon - From scratch
			  Skin   - From Scratch
			  Sound -  Mainly a heavily manipulated Dr. Who theme (yes really)

Editor used             : Photoshop 6, 3DStudioMax r3, Q3ASE, PAKscape 

Known Bugs              : The new Beam effect will only work with the "new style" ID lightning effect - Except I can't recal the console command to do it - bah. cg_trueLightning set to 1 will stop the beam from wandering from the crosshairs though, but you may wish to change it back to 0 for online play as that shows where the server sees the beams location.

Build  time    : 	about 3 weeks - with a 3 month hiatus between mesh and everything else


* How to use this accessory *


Place the .pk3 into your base Q3 Folder - next time you play Q3 you'll have a somewhat different looking lightning gun.
