1. Printing trains.

3. I’ve been on a
journey to make
models differently.

4. Fun. Challenging. Passing
time. Social/solitary.
Learning/developing.

5. I’m either bored by
the mass produced or
under served by the
small producer.

6. The only story I can tell is
unboxing.

7. I’d been doing a lot
of thinking.
Then three amazing
things happened.

8. Chickenpox. I got it.

10. We’re bringing
engineering back.

11. Could we make a kit?
