Thanks! It was a ton of fun to finally get it all put together. :)

This is amazing. Especially that you're able to see video as it moves underwater. Would love to see more video of this in operation!

Hey, Buffman109! On the Adafruit website they have a pretty extensive writeup. Have you seen this already? https://www.adafruit.com/product/2133

Ha! Glad you like it!

Wouldn't it be amazing to have a giant screen in front of the cockpit and then play Battlefront II? :D

Love it! We'll have to see. My kids think it's totally rational for this to take over our whole house. :)

Thanks!

Thanks!

Ha! Yeah, it’s a little weird for sure, but I was in need of simulating the texture for a project I was working on. Should be posting that huge new build in the next few days. Pretty excited about it. :D

Wow, this is a great costume! That was a ton of work, but it really turned out nice!

I love these! They look so weird and creepy. Great ible!

I was thinking just last night how great it would be to have arms on our carved pumpkin. Alas, I will have to wait a year before I get to use this.Great idea! Got my vote.

This is incredibly cool. Amazing what you were able to accomplish for that amount. Really nice work.

Totally blown away by this build. Not sure if it would work, but it would be cool to try making molds and pouring some silicone to make the individual seals. Might not work and wouldn't be cheap.

Awesome suit! Your son is a lucky kid. This turned out great!

Ha! This is great!

Awesome build! Wasn't familiar with the Mendocino motor design, so this is especially impressive to me.

As a person who has fallen in love with 3D design and printing, it's really cool to see this sort of project for schools. Great idea!

Love how this turned out. Looks very nice.

Crazy how nice this turned out by using tin foil for your mold. If you haven't tried it yet, you would totally love silicone. It's not cheap, but for $30 you could get enough to do several molds this size. And it captures every detail.

I mean, who wouldn't want to have a giant claw in place of a forearm/hand? Looks great!

I've had some extra lumber laying around, and this has totally inspired me. Love the flexible design on the table and really love the design of the stools. Great job! You've got my favorite and vote.

This turned out super nice. Very unique modern look.

Very clever solution to the problem. Nice job, and congrats on the contest!

Congratulations on the grand prize for this contest! Amazing build, and you guys totally rocked the animated GIFs!

Loved all the photos in this fantastic build. Especially loved the way you used built the stairs and the ladder. What an enormous project!

Man, this is so cool!

Seriously great sculpting. Loved the time-lapse video.

This is an absolutely fantastic build! Love the workmanship here! Voted for you in the contest.

Hey, Tedwardmvps! The material I used is an expanded pvc, and I think we're talking about the same stuff. Depending on the thickness it is quite heavy and not soft. Without heat, it's quite inflexible (especially if it's more than 1mm thick). If you carefully use a heat gun, you can shape the pvc board.

Those label designs are excellent. Did you design them or find them?

This is hilarious! Simple yet amazing.

Umbridge would be so proud!

Nothing more creepy than a jack-in-the-box working on its own. This is great!

I’ve wanted to do something like this for a while. Great work!

This is such a great idea! Like you, we have more books than we do shelves. Might have to do this myself.

This is a great idea!

Radiohead. Yes. :)

Cool design. I’ve thought about doing something like this, and I really like your solution.

Thanks! It was a great project to work on.

Best welding helmet ever! Love the details on this!

This is absolutely amazing.

Dang, man! That's some seriously nice woodworking, man! Love how this turned out - especially the self scoring part.

Hahaha! That's hilarious!

Thanks so much for your comment! Yes, it was so amazing to see people's faces when they walked into the lobby! And as Darth Vader, I got a ton of attention too. Lots of high-fives and fist bumps and photos with both kids and adults.But the best part of the story I forgot to add to the end. We donated the sculpture to another church located out of state. They drove 11.5 hours each way to pick it up and take it back to use for their own event! And the cardboard figures were donated to another local church. :)

Yeah, that was the main thing people asked me, "Are you going to take this home afterwards?" I believe there are specialty coatings that would give it that durability, but not in my subdivision. Lol.

Thanks!

Thanks, Sam!

Thanks, Jon!

Ha! Yes, it really was. Thanks!

Ha! That's awesome! You should do it!

Finally got this posted. Such a fun project:https://www.instructables.com/id/Large-Scale-Star-Wars-AT-AT-Walker-Build/

I have a mask of this character, and yours looks almost identical. Nice job!

I've always been hesitant to try Worbla. Thanks for the great tutorial!

My kids have begged for Link costumes. This is a major inspiration to me!

"The Enrichment Center reminds you that the Weighted Companion Cube will never threaten to stab you and, in fact, cannot speak."Such a great build!

This is so cool! Going to check it out!

Really nice instructions here. The project turned out great!

That looks fantastic! I'm sure he loves it! Love the details on the controls.

That's great! Would love to see some pics of how it turned out!

Finally getting to us your plan to make one of these. Only 20' instead of 20". ?

That turned out super nice! Can't believe that's foil tape!

Thanks for the comment, and I'm glad to hear that it was helpful for you! When I first came up with the idea, I was very happy with the results, and not seeing anything like this when I searched online, I thought it would be cool to share with others. :)

Nice work!

Wow! This is super cool!

This is such a simple but fantastic idea! Will be using this for sure!

You get my vote for the awesome neighbor award! Looks great!

Looks great!

Really great Instructable! I've been wanting to build one for a while, and I love your design here!

This looks amazing!

This is fabulous! Such a cool idea!

Love your design style! Certainly need to build something like this - possibly to display collectables.
