Twitchie Scorpion

I made this scorpion toy with a Twitchie Robot Kit. I’m really afraid of scorpions where I live in Arizona, so I thought a friendly toy would help me get used to them. I made his plush body from some fabric I had around, aiming to make him look like an Arizona bark scorpion, which are tan/yellowish/translucent.

    Technically not, because the video in itself hasn’t ceased to exist, and so it is still being awesome as opposed to have stopped being awesome

    Grammatically …
    Grammatically speaking, that is wrong English.
    “This” and “is” in the sentence “This is awesome” is not suited when referring to a video, etc recently seen.

    Instead, it should have been typed down as:
    THAT WAS AWESOME!!!

    Great work! Who says plushies have to be boring and static. Love the creativity, and the soldering is very minimal. Great for a project you can do with your kids! Would be great if you could put some LED eyes with that too!

    And for all the hate: I personally think girls with brains and skills are cute 🙂 And she’s in Arizona as well…

    Yeah, so I have a thing for cute geek girls. Hate on if you like, but she’s a winner to me 🙂
