Michael Sng's Machinations's video: Codename Colossus Mk I Cyclops Build Log 8

Introducing Codename Colossus. An electronic and mechanical art toy. Presenting the Infantry Support Colossus Mk.I Cyclops This was an impromptu trip I made to Shenzhen. Communicating through photos and text could only get me so far. I decided that I wanted to go and see their work with my own eyes. The guys have spent the last 3 weeks sanding smooth each of the many parts and have made duplicates where necessary. I will be back in Shenzhen on the 5th September to receive the first 3 production sets so I can start making colour samples and get them ready for photography. That leaves me 3 weeks before New York Comic Con. I think I have no choice but to start my crowdfunding campaign after NYCC in mid October. Kickstarter Hong Kong and Singapore has invited me to their Facebook page and has conducted a Q&A on 25th August, so they would be available by then. Lots to do in the meantime.
