    Aug 1, 2012 - Comrade Greeting Card #1

    My friends and I are pretty big fans of Futurama. We are often quoting it and have seen most of the episodes numerous times. I was thinking it would be cool to build Bender, but there seems to be lots of builds out there for him. Then I thought I could build one of the other robots instead. While looking through some pics to figure out which one to build, I came across this one for a quick, simple, fun build to get me started.



    Comrade Greeting Card from the episode "Mother's Day."

    I made the digital image for the card.



    The font is not exactly the same. I'm not sure if I'm going to try and match it since 1) the animators probably hand wrote it and 2) it is just a fun little project.

    Now to get it printed and make some legs and an antenna for it.
    If I get real ambitious, I might download the sound clip of it speaking the poem and include that.

    And Finished! That went quicker than I expected. So much so that I probably actually will see about making one that speaks.



    I changed the back up to add the Momcorp logo, QR code and price so it looks like the back of a Hallmark card. I don't think it ever shows its back in the cartoon.

    This was a fun evening diversion.
