More Giraffe photos

 

New Rapido giraffe car
You've got to hand it to the Rapido team. Inspired by my video, they dropped everything and printed a couple of giraffe heads, and were colouring them with paint pens within 20 minutes. 

The AK pens are pretty effective, and obviously ideal for quick jobs. Worth remembering for the future. 


I was presented with both heads at the end of the show, and I'm really chuffed with them. 

While there, we also took the chance to give a traditional Tri-ang car a quick wizz along Overlord.

I love the AK Interactive paint pens, bought the full set earlier in the year and have used them exclusively to paint a stack of figures for the layout as well as some other bits of detailing, thoroughly recommend them!

3D printed giraffe heads?

Hmmm ... as godfather to some young relatives, I'm starting to wonder about a 3D printed horse's head.

OK - perhaps that might not be everyone's idea of reasonable ...
