My undergrad deg. Is in fine arts with a concentration in sculpture, and from a family of artsy people,... These creations are truly awesome,... I
thought this vid was REALLY awesome.
I've shared it with a bunch of folks.
I'm going to take a nap now

FYI when I went to the art museum earlier this month they had working models/ kits of a couple of these, could not quite bring myself to drop the c.
$100 on it. May go back.
