Wow, a whole new Wall-E! That's commitment to the cause! Your paint job is mega and those eyes just make him come to life. I had a sort of the same / not to disimilar situation during covid where I thought it would be a great idea to take a photo of a model car I built. I made a whole set including a 1:24th scale building for it. It took me weeks to build only to decide I could do it better if I did a few things differently. I made the changes but it's still sitting somewhere waiting to be photographed. I also just finnished your book. I was reading it in chapters before bed some evenings. There is a whole bunch of really important info in there as well as a lot of great humor. When is book 2 cominmg out? ;-)
Yeah, printing a whole new Wall-E was daunting as a thought, but the reality of 3D printing is that its mostly set it up, wait a bunch of hours, and swap the print out. SO it wasn't that bad except the waiting (which, as Tom Petty pointed out, is the hardest part). I also just recently upgraded my printer to a much faster one (Bambu X1) so the time to print was significantly shorter (1-2 weeks, not 4-5 weeks). Thanks for the comments about my book. No plans for a second one just yet. If you have any topics you think would make good chapters, lemme know :) Thats what sparked the motivation for the first book was someone suggesting "How do I buy the right action figures for photography" as a possible chapter :)
Looks great!
Thanks!
