hi mates! haven't posted anything in a long time.
However, i was thinking on doing a 3d project, although i ain't that good with 3d programs. The thing is, i can get my hands on a 3d printer (so anything you make can be printed in plastic), for free btw. Now, i see loads of possibilities here, i know some people on the board also spend a lot of time making 3d models. So it's possible to make anything and print it and thus having a real plastic figure. You can probably see where i'm going with this, we can make our own transformers/parts etc. Ofcourse we'll need people who are really good with 3D stuff cause i kinda suck ;D.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=yyZtBYG0QOgit doesn't use plastic injection, it actually prints it in layers (can take some time) Although i can only print a few times cause the materials are very expensive. I have no idea about how the plastic quality will be, but i've been told it's pretty good.

Wow! Need to find out how much one of those is! That's amazing!
Edit: Apparently it's "the first 3d printer below $40,000", whcih is £20,000, so I guess it costs £19,999! Yikes!
If it where a grand I'd seriously consider it!

Ooh a 3D printer. _I take it you need it in orthographic projection style. There are some 3D artists around the board (or where).
A moon toy, we were suppose to have had a Moonbug character made up late last year in the style of the Transformers Movie as part payment for some contract work I did for someone (art work that was, not a toy) but they never completed (or started) the work.

but they never completed (or started) the work. Just tell us whose ass we need to kick and we'll get right on it... Minion can hold him down, X-Bot can point a big gun at him, Steel can repeatedly roundhouse him in the face and Sunstreaker can make him feel incredibly uncomfortable in a morally-unclean way. I'll, uh, guard here...
