Sketchbots and Metalheads

We had a visit from Phil Reed of www.battlegrip.com fame last night and he came bearing some special gifts. Take a look at that shiny dome on Pheyden up there, that sucker is actual metal! Phil used his special contacts to put together this awesome beast. As a matter of fact, Phil brought an entire BAG of metal heads! Exellis, Buildman, Pheyden and Sarvos all got the treatment. With a little polishing and buffing these things are crazy reflective. Massive thanks to Phil for making one serious nerd dream a reality.

Also, I just finished up a new custom for artist Steve Talkowski's Sketchbot custom show. The festivities begin tomorrow at My Plastic Heart in New York City. This was a fun one to do, and the Sketchbot platform is very well made. I actually used only the pieces of the toy to modify the design, nothing sculptural was added, just a ton of cutting, gluing and painting. It was like a self imposed parameter and it made the process refreshing. If you are in the New York area this weekend maybe swing by and check out what is sure to be a very solid show. Congratulations on your new toy Steve! Well, back to the preparation for the launch!
