[game_preservation] SIG Icon - Joystick and Belljar

[Andrew Armstrong]

I think I might have to redo the base to be a better perspective and do 
the glass dome better, but here is thicker glass with no handle:

I made it a bit taller to compensate, might redo it so it's a bit 
shorter with the bigger base. I also did what amounted to a bit of 
darkening around the bottom of the base rather then making it black. I 
will probably go and make the base bigger then the glass (as it should 
be usually) so I can make it clearer all around it.

In any case, it's a bit of progress.
