I like the imperfections. It doesn't look like it just came off the showroom floor. :)

The best thing about that movie is how many times Tom Cruise got knocked off! :)

You made me learn. :)

So is a bad motivator called a demotivator? I'd be pretty demotivated working on a ball of sand. They were growing stuff, but never showed what they were growing. Maybe a protein farm? :)

Your model is so awesome. It really captures the imagination and keeps it alive in our memories. I really liked that documentary. I remember seeing some of those films when I was very young, but the film industry in the U.S. of A. is so picky when it comes to running stuff from other...

Try some Grey Silicon and goop all those edges. Those distractions will really disappear when you start the greebling, and there is so much that can be done on this super strong model, use the model as the canvas it is for the greebling to turn it into the model it's crying out to be When...

You would get a longer gait with a version of Theo Jansen's,design. Imagine doubling each mechanism on each side! IMHO :)

Your kids into it is a father's dream. All those supports on the 3D printed models, what a job to remove. I try to make models that have as few as those as possible. I design them into the model instead of letting the software generating them. Sometimes it works well, other times I end up...

Children come first, then second, then, until they are all set. ;)

Who wouldn't want a collection like this!! :)

Really, I'm at a loss of words. ;)

I felt bad I kind of to over your thread, but that's what a well made model will do to you. To be honest, flying is easy. Landing is a bit more difficult though, but once you get the hang of it, it's like riding a bicycle. ;)

I like your model more than the real plane. These these things feel like your sitting on a poll, and when you stall it, it snaps straight up, the very quickly and sharply straight down, and then you start your recovery. Go up without eating anything so you don't lose your lunch. I flew one of...
