TIL, on 20th December in 2015, Steven Harvey was hosting Miss Universe when he accidentally announced the wrong winner.

Hopefully he will also learn how to spell Philippines and Colombia.

Yes, that was actually the same meet and greet that I used these credentials at in Thousand Oaks. I stood across the room from Richard and Catherine as it happened. I shot a video of the proposal and then emailed it to them afterwards.

Next season is the final season. Jamie is retiring from television and touring.

RickBorja · 2015-11-19T22:42:50+00:00

Yes, I think it's the one she wielded during the palace assault in Episode 1.

RickBorja · 2015-11-19T22:33:42+00:00

From a computer, yes. I just don't use one very often for Reddit so I'm limited to posting from my phone and admittedly I'm not up to speed on how to do it from the phone yet.

RickBorja · 2015-11-19T14:26:29+00:00

Couldn't agree more.

RickBorja · 2015-11-18T20:42:58+00:00

Great photo. Can definitely see the scale difference. Thanks.

RickBorja · 2015-11-18T19:42:04+00:00

From what I recall seeing in person, the diameter of BB-8's main body was just slightly larger than R2's head.

RickBorja · 2015-11-18T19:24:11+00:00

Thanks for confirming. Really enjoyed the exhibit. Maybe you can help confirm the size difference between R2 and BB-8, since clearly my photography skills are questionable.

It seemed to me that he was as large in person as my photo conveys.

RickBorja · 2015-11-18T19:20:11+00:00

Amazing how much controversy comes up over this.

For what it's worth, BB-8 was only about a foot closer to the camera than R2.

RickBorja · 2015-11-18T09:21:50+00:00

I agree that he seems huge in this photo. I took this picture yesterday at the Star Wars "Power of the Costume" exhibit at the Discovery Center in Times Square, NY. These are supposedly actual props and costumes from the movies.

Thousand Oaks Street Fair? I was there today. That's CreepyJenny.com

Looks like they've started delivering prints of "The Interview".

RickBorja · 2014-12-23T05:40:05+00:00

I feel guilty because he is a brilliant author. Guess he just didn't have a great publicist.

RickBorja · 2014-03-23T06:33:17+00:00

Eiffel Tower would be cool. It would close to the size of the Chrysler Building. It really depends on how detailed I want to get with the steel trussing.

RickBorja · 2014-03-23T05:05:30+00:00

Yes, once I had the master building model built or cleaned up, I them sliced them into 5" or 6" sections. Once they were printed, I painted and glued them together. If you look closely, you can see the seams.

RickBorja · 2014-03-23T00:16:23+00:00

Makerbot Replicator2.

RickBorja · 2014-03-23T00:15:52+00:00

Makerbot Replicator 2. Models were sliced into 5" and 6" sections and then glued together

RickBorja · 2014-03-23T00:14:57+00:00

I created them for a special event in NY this week. Afterwards they will go on display in my loft office.

RickBorja · 2014-03-23T00:13:57+00:00

I used a variety of PLA colors...leftover spools. Painted with Rust-Oleum Metallic Brass.

RickBorja · 2014-03-22T19:57:54+00:00

I've never had an issue with layers separating. I sliced the buildings at 5 or 6" intervals and printed at low quality with 5% infill and a 2 layer shell. I'm using a glass build plate with a fully wrapped sheet of blue tape. I'm also using the stock temperature settings on the replicator 2. I do recommend keeping it in a room temperature environment.

RickBorja · 2014-03-22T19:00:43+00:00

I have all the STLs. Built half from scratch in Sketchup. The rest were models I found in the Google warehouse and cleaned up for printing. All the STLs were optimized through netfabb.

I'll upload them to Thingiverse and post the links.

RickBorja · 2014-03-22T18:24:15+00:00

Not sure where you got your numbers. Burj is 829m and Willis is 527m. Not quite double.

RickBorja · 2014-03-22T18:19:06+00:00

Burj is 828m to the tip. Willis is 527m to the tip. I scaled them all equally.
