He should be releasing a set of directions soon, so those of us who are not-so-artistically-inclined can make a bumbling attempt at our own version.

A.K.A. A pile of cardboard, glue and something not intirely unlike mold... I Hope it turns out good for him.
I wonder how hard it would be to make a die-cast Pyro-GX, now that I'd buy!

I can get something similar done but don't have the funds to do it.
I would have the pyro made directly from the 3d model MD has supplied me the required file, and then possibly make a silicon mold from the model then cast parts from the mold.
Pretty simple but then you would have to paint it.

Very nice! Now It's time to build a REAL Pyro (I'm going to buy some metal).

I could always set my robotics team to build one once FIRST is over... we might have some sheet metal left.
