Playing with toys

Hey everyone. 

Okay, we all know that I haven't posted in a while. I could tell you why, but I am trying to not involve my personal life in the blog as much as I used to. The long and short is that I was busy. Some of it had to do with boats, but not all of it. Sorry about that: I get distracted. 

However, if you want to know about something cool I did, I have put some photos up. I have a lot of smart people and cool technology around me, so I decided to enter one of our internal competitions (we do this for fun sometimes). This one was themed "self portrait."

I made me an action figure with a little help from my friends Craig and Stephen. The parts are made with various futuristic machines and then hand painted by me. 

Enjoy.

Before anyone asks: we used a Kinect to scan me with IR. Then Craig stitched the model together and sent me an STL. I used an Objet (who we call Eve) to print me. I made a die-line for the package and Stephen handled all of the images and copy. I made the molded plastic of the package too.

I won the competition.

Back to the boats.
