For December's theme of "Games"

Description:
I'm an avid table-tennis player, so I had no other choice for the "games" 
theme.  This is a Harvard paddle and a ball sitting on a ping-pong 
table.  My emphasis was on trying to make the paddle realistic, and I 
think it turned out pretty well.  Getting the bump_map for the paddle was 
a royal pain in the ass for a number of reasons.  The other three image 
maps weren't so bad (luckily:).  The wood textures came about from 
trial-and-error.  If you really like it, drop me a line.
