RPF Newbie - Justin Roberts
Hey Everyone!
I'm glad to finally join the RPF - I heard about this forum mainly from watching videos of Adam Savage on Tested and thought it would be a great place to share maker stories, gain inspiration and ask questions about techniques I haven't yet perfected.
I love to make anything I can learn how to. I studied architecture, sculpture, photography and web development in college and developed skills to visualize things in my head and bring them into the world through modeling. Whether I'm building a deck for my backyard, pouring a bronze mold or making a halloween costume, I try to research anything I don't know as much as possible to create objects of high quality and craftsmanship. I'm looking forward to accessing the massive knowledge base you all have gathered here!
My favorite costume I've made to date was a human-scale, mechanical AT-ST walker for Halloween 2011. I conceptualized and built it in a week so it's lacking an amazing amount of detail but I'm proud of the scale and mechanics of it moved. I'll get some pictures up for you all to take a look.
