My new desk toy

Postby pmcaero » Sun Jan 17, 2016 11:43 pm

I built a surfer simulator out of Legos. Hope it helps me with proper stance.

Prescription needed, urgently here nurse. Large infusions of appropriately applied salt water ,several times daily.

Deliver to Jenness beach, for use of patient, observe for full recovery of outdoor Stoke!
Nice Lego though!

Mine was already built. It has 30 points of articulation. I call him "Barry".

It is super poseable. Even the toes bend up.

Haha Barry looks in good shape ,bet he can do the good old "hang 11" maneuver, at least if he were anatomically correct.

When I get too old I will get a fully articulated tiny robot on a tiny surfboard , with servos and a Virtual Reality rig , and surf one foot peeling barrels from my couch :)

(There are RC surfers available, but they are not articulated.)
