Martian Maggot

thingiverse

Why has no-one done this before!?From the classic 1953 cartoon "Duck Dodgers in the 24 1/2 Century", the original rendering of Marvin Martian's rocket-ship. Sadly most people these days have only ever seen the the clumsy CG-assisted representations from more recent animations, but when you Google it you're still shown the two images from that first apearance.My first sketch off the TV has languished in the 'to make one day' pile for decades, until circumstances poked me recently.My biggest challenge was the lettering painted on the sides: my hand-painting days are long passed. I ended up borrowing a Laser-cutter to make stencils from a sheet of self-adhesive paper labels. Perhaps the artwork included - a .dxf and a .psd file - could also be used with one of those 'Cricut' machines.
