Wow, I love this forum. It's so cool that someone can be building something, and then the person that originally made it just shows up and starts helping them out. Just amazing.

Ive got some teal Rit liquid dye, Ive never tried dying PETG before so I'm not sure how it will go. I've watched a few people do it on youtube though.
Thought I'd share a M-O I made while we're waiting for gooses. Still largely in beta mode, it was one of the earliest prototypes I made for the maker faire.
The WALL-E that's in front was made by my friend Mike Senna

Oh cool, is that M-O to scale? He looks pretty small to me, or perhaps the wall-e is massive.
Thanks thats really usefull. Quite a complicated shape for a part you don't see that much. Not sure if it's worth it to try and replicate that or not. But thanks anyway.
Gooses - Really excellent work!
I use SolidWorks, Rhino and Maya extensively at work. Of the three, Rhino is by far the most useful modeling software for props and models. It was originally designed by and for industrial product designers so it "thinks" like a fabricator does. It's a "direct modeler" unlike SolidWorks which is "parametric". While you loose the capability to go back and easily change features within the model, it is much faster and easier when creating surface models. Solidworks is really best for mechanical design and Maya for character animation.
You can download a 90 day fully functional copy of Rhino, which is great since it gives you enough time to really learn and evaluate the software. And it's priced under $1,000 which is a great value. Also it looked like you have a Mac? If so the beta version for Mac OS, which is fully functional and pretty solid (crash free) is available for free.

A little more progress. The head has had a coat of white primer and one of the arms has had it's final coat of grey. The other arm still needs quite a bit of work.
The little piece on his back here will be the water level in his backpack. So it will look about 35% full.
