Wow, what an absolutely awesome monster!

A gigantic, walking, cannon-toting surprise-egg. And the suprise is an even bigger cannon! I mean; what's not to love about that? :D
Miniatures you say? Well I too, like to live dangerously...

I can't find if this guy did anything small before this. I mean did he just dive in for a few years and end up with this? That's insane focus and dedication.

Great creativity here, I like it and appreciate what has been put into this.

I am amazed at how 3D printing is coming along its not perfect yet but eventually it will be the gamers best friend as we will be able to design and build our own figures and accessories... :)

Very cool...a few of the design choices bug me, but it's a ridiculously silly and cool personal project.  Very neat.

Another link to the beast here: http://toyland.gizmodo.com/the-only-way-to-describe-this-3d-printed-mechanized-tan-1715365079

 The sculptor's site announces the price at 6.000 usd and also projects for smaller (more affordable!) projects.

He missed a trick not building a hoover into it...

Don't you not realise that it was the Romans giving Boudicca a hoover for her birthday that set off the whole rebellion!
