When they were sanding the sides and belly area I was just waiting for the back foot to start going, LOL.

I'm hoping that part 2 of this video is the construction of a to-scale, functioning Trademark machine.

What an astounding project! Fascinating.

Something for Jerry B. to consider. ;)

I'd like one. Nipper would put Hemlock on the map, so to speak. :lol:

Seriously though, they did a wonderful job, and I love the fact that 3-D imagining and shaping technologies were used.

From beginning to end, I think they did a fantastic job of enlarging the Nipper!

The only thing that irks me, is that they used such a dorky looking "knock-off" Nipper to start with.

Just my 2 cents, Bob S.
