My son wanted to be a white knight chess piece this year. We typically make his costumes and I decided to tackle this one. The result is in two pieces. The base is made from foam pipe insulation covered in an old bed sheet. The head is foam core with internal pool noodle scaffolding.

Just a quick tip for anyone making games, drawing art, writing books, or doing any other form of creative work…

4. Theres a button that puts these planes into horse mode.

Thrilling chase underway in Manchester...

I don't have much hope that new cars will be less invasive of my privacy any time soon, but this sort of project gives me hope that when the time comes to replace my car (hopefully a decade from now), that I might be able to convert it or some other pre-privacy-invasion car to electric.
