The good people at MAKE magazine have asked me to chronicle a build project for them. After a few conversations we settled on something that should be a solid attention getter. You can see the first post where they make mention of it here: This Week: Be on the Lookout for Something Big | MAKE

If you've been following any of my other builds, you've seen me sneak a few photos of this build in here and there. In case you haven't looked at those threads, here's a couple of pics of the build in progress:












If you haven't guessed what it is just yet, I'm going to hold off on the reveal for a few days.



The plan is to post an article to their blog and a video update on the whole project every other week or so. Here's the insane part: I'm going to have the whole thing painted and on display at the Maker Faire in San Mateo on the 17th and 18th of May. When I started the project I had about 90 days to go. Now I'm down to about 72. So there's really no time to waste.

Stay tuned...

Nice vid, it's good to see the actual process on a build, rather than pictures. Again excellent work and I look forward to more updates :thumbsup

I see some parts have already made it to the "Light Red" stage! :lol

Should be all kinds of awesome!

Always impressed with your work but this one boggles my mind.
