My workflow involved receiving concept sketches from designers and then creating sketches of mechanisms to achieve the end goal. I would model these mechanisms for 3D printing and then assemble them for verification. I was able to work from the engineers perspective and work with designers to achieve the results that they were looking for. I strengthened my sense of housing design, assembly methods, and mechanical skills while at Hasbro.

A mechanical feast for the eyes. Tremendous detail as usual, Colby. Love the big honkin' tank and seating position.

Thanks a ton Marc, most of the time was spent on just developing the mechanics and engine tech so that it could be feasible!

This is fantastic. Was this built with Solidworks?

Thanks Haiden, This is just a tediously built rhino model, though it could have been built more efficiently as a SolidWorks assembly.
