The long-awaited and much-anticipated Capt. QUINT one-of-a-kind, hand-made, blood-sweat-and-tears (with the occasional rage and denial) prototype is finally complete in all its fantastic glory! Getting to this stage was not a simple task - I'm pretty sure that I had to go through every step at least twice - if it wasn't due to equipment failure or uncontrollable weather issues, most mishaps could be chalked up to human error (usually due to severe sleep depravation).
It took me the better part of 6 months to reach this stage (and almost $2000) but well worth the journey...
To recap the sequence just check out my earlier entries:
Cocktail napkin doodle (not recorded in this blog)
Red pencil blue-print mock-up (see last image in this here entry)
3D digital sculpt (there were multiple iterations for this stage)
A few rapid prototypes (3D low resolution print outs from the STL - digital sculpts)
Full color rendering
High resolution prototype:
rapid prototype with high build filler, sanded smooth and base coat applied
Painted prototype (air brush and spray paint)
Texture mapped 3D digital sculpt
(not yet blogged about) clear hard plastic stand concept - shown here in silver - and initial package design.
