it became a monster

but we have learned..........

HOLY SHIT THAT IS DOPE AF

THANKS

I DON'T. envy red at all. carrying it. the final copy is going to be much lighter.

BUT WE LEARNED MUCH

and a nemo fais

I learned much!

it me

ambigem CelesJessa charred

shoves you three around

you can see the wood grain to all heck in the handle but this is the prototype and I think it gives it... texture

:weary:

I'm sorry I've been lagging so hard on tags but I'm driving back north tomorrow so I had to blitz on this for a while....

i like the texture!

HOLY SHIT

That's huge

boxer is buff

I just have to shoot a clear coat on this to tie it together and seal some stuff in, then it'll be Done Done, but that doesn't really show up in photos at all so I had to take pictures immediately

but once I shoot that clear coat, points to eyes points to inbox

boxer is hella buff and so is red. I wouldn't want to drag this thing around even on its edge :weary:

god this isn't discord

It looks so amazing, friend

thank you I'm really proud of it

Starts lifting weights immediately

my dad did most of the technical work but once we got to the painting and masking I was like

My Time Has Come

it'll be a lot lighter when it's hollow jesso!!

but still, get swole

It looks great! You are both my heroes

Someday you and your dad need to meet me somewhere in the middle and I'll buy you both a delicious meal

uweh yes!!

wheeze, this was a super fun learning experience... I learned a lot about material properties and drawing in cad and cnc stuff... and paint drying times......................

so much of this was drying time..........................

deadeyes the world

I mean there was other stuff that could be done on it during the drying time but toward the end I have been staring at it in motivational constipation more than I care to admit

ANYWAY.

It's done. It's as tall as me. We're going to revisit the handle and shrink the pattern size for you, Jessa.

goes to shoot that clear coat and then finally do these tags

god we have a cnc and laser cutter and 3d printer at my job and i'm always like

thank you... Was this one 100% with the sizes in my schematic?

someday i will use u for cosplay

do it, it's such a godsend

our cnc is a beast and intimidates the fuck out of me though ngl LMFAO

it does have an automatic tool changer which is very cool but i have no idea how that... works... rip

LMAO ah... so does ours. I guess I grew up around them so they've never intimidated me but I'm still very like... how do I use you... but I did lots of tool changing and zeroing on this project. it was fun.

also belatedly jessa! the blade was to your dimensions except for a few tweaks in the circuit pattern/lens size. the handle was totally freehand

which is why it ended up a little big

because of material constraints and us being dumb

it works for a person my size or on the wall, but we're gonna tweak it down for you.

Ye ye I was just curious! Anyway I love you and your dad forever.

we love u

also I love this thing, this is a labor of love and also he's having tons of fun with it

Thank you :sob: I am short

he makes aviation parts and bunk beds for a living, whenever I bring him something nerdy and mindbendy he's like !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you are doing him a service

Nice. Let me know if there's anything you need from me/anything I can do from afar

That’s so cute...nemo papa

I never doubted u nemo papa

Ugh it came out so great even for a prototype I’m so jealous u did so good
