...just sayin.

You want a yellow wiggy-SNES? :P
Also, I have to get this out of my system, even if it derails my own thread a bit.
Prometheus is the worst piece of crap I've seen in about 10 years. Ugh. So bad.

Not yet. I'm slowly working with my web guy to get things together. I'm trying to piece 3 sites together at once (re-building www.wiggyshifties.com, Wiggy Design corp. site, and a site for this yet-to-be-named line of products), so it's gonna take some serious work.
In the meantime I may start a FB page for it to use as a blog for progress if that's something that folks would be interested in. Maybe if I have time this weekend...
Model is done! Here's a quick preview of one of the parts. There ended up being a lot more engineering required than I initially thought, but it's all sorted out now and everything works without issue (in the model at least). Hopefully I'll have a prototype in a week or two!

Holy crap, awesome progress! Wiggy, are you doing the engineering yourself, or are you working with a mechanical/plastics engineer? I also see that you are running SolidWorks! Nice software choice ;D
Also saw Prometheus, I thought it wasn't that bad, visuals were sick though...
wiggy:
Thanks!
I'm doing all the engineering myself at the moment. Luckily it's not terribly complicated, just some pretty tight tolerances, and the fact that I'm building around something that already exists without having its original CAD data to work with is a PITA. I spend a good day and a half re-building the guts from scratch just to make sure everything fits nice and tight.
As a die-hard Alien fan, I just can't be happy about anything in that film, right down to the bit of fan service at the end that managed to take all that was cool about Giger's design and obliterate it. I prolly woulda though it was OK if I wasn't such a fan of the original.
