UFO - I Want To Believe

pinshape

This is a remix. I wanted to make it battery powered instead of using USB power, so I modified the base to hold a battery pack and wired in a switch. Instead of buying an acrylic rod, I decided to print my own. I chose to make it 10mm x 110 mm and hollow, similar to a plastic straw. The name plate "I Want To Believe" was printed using multi-color layers (black & white). I ended up using sheep instead of a cow like I originally wanted because the cow was too big for the model. My wife is very happy with it - she's the UFO fanatic! - and can't wait to take it to work to show it off.
