The Mini-Mizer is a lot of fun. I had a really ambitious idea for someone with a lot of time and skills in 3-d visualization (i.e. not me). It's very simple in concept.

The system scans your body and generates a 3d surface map (there are systems that do things like this, so it's not totally a research project). It then emits detailed plans for building a life size model with Lego. Extra credit: make a robotic arm do the assembly.

Cool stuff :)

Yes, I know that's a hood I�m wearing but it�s the nearest thing there is to my hair (cf. this). I would have made one up for my workmate (who was most amused by it), but his hair isn't on there at all.

there were some good ones on that thing for zorro. I am guessing he could make one look pretty close to himself. Otherwise i just wasted 20 min playing with that thing. it is so much fun. they just need a better way to export.

I certainly expected to look more, well, sexy in plastic. By the way, where are the Lego Snaggy and Nitrozac?!?

greycat, the way you're holding that shield, it looks like your Lego alter ego is going into battle "sans culottes"!

Well, if he wasn't wearing pants, his legs would be *yellow* instead of brown.
