DISCLAIMER: No, this is not supposed to be a completely accurate rendering of Bin Laden, rather a more comical cariacture to vent some stress out on. No, I do no not advocate hatred towards Arabs or Islamics, but I do advocate Osama Bin Laden getting the hell fragged out of him in Q3. 

Having said that, yes I tried this with a turban. It also didn't feel right to me, to use a turban and have him in armor. It made me feel as though I was making fun of those who wear turbans, which I am not. I'm making fun of Bin Laden, and ONLY Bin Laden. White also looked arse to me, when I looked at it with the turban, because of the OpenGL glow factor with white. 

I will more than likely do a more true to form Bin Laden, even if only a head model for this, or a full model to do the robes and whatnot, if an interested modeler wants to team up. Otherwise, this'll do hopefully for some much needed tension relief in the wake of events on September 11th. 

My all those who have suffered because of those terroristic atrocities find solace and peace in the days to come.
