Iron Giant bolt

So I started on this project a while ago, then noticed there were a couple people working on this...so I waited to see how they would do it... but nothing has really happened. :(

So I modeled one up and printed it off, supports still need to be cleaned off. :)

I'm not sure the bolt is exactly the right size, its supposed to be big in Hogarth's hands and hes 9. Anyway I printed one off that's 20% bigger, maybe that will work better?

Here is what I have so far :

The "character sheet" from the movie files, and the 3D print.

COOL. :) Would love to see this done. For what it's worth, my feeble input is that it could probably use to be even bigger. Perhaps by 35-40%. Just by sight, that's my take on it. Either way, it looks great. :D
 
Well I did take a screenshot from the movie to compare, keep in mind Hogarth is a 9 year old kid.

And this is 20% difference :)

I threw together an Iron Giant Bolt in 123 Design and put it up on Thingiverse http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1569466. I broke it into pieces to make it easier to print.

I'm not completely happy with the threads and will need to revisit in a couple of weeks when I have some time. I still need to remove supports from the threads, so I haven't posted any printed pics yet. Measurements are educated guesses, so any input on any measurements that are incorrect are greatly appreciated.
 
I think the One-Day Build that Adam did was for the one TheRocketeer talk about:
