Wrenches

[EarthMover]

I was helping my wife put together a billboard ad for a client yesterday and we needed an image of a wrench to make the idea work. I spent about 20 minutes looking through clipart, when it dawned on me that I could've just modeled and rendered a wrench in the same amount of time I spent looking for one. So, 20 minutes later, I whipped up a quick wrench in Sketchup and rendered it in hypershot. We finished the ad and our client sold the billboard. Just another example of Sketchup to the Rescue!

Here's the skippy if anyone needs a wrench. It's a little on the heavy side, but might come in handy for tightening down some bolts on all the robot models in the works.

I know it's the wrong finger, but it looks like that kid is flipping the bird. Nice wrenches.

I was thinking the same thing. Ha ha.

Nice wrenches too. Very clean.

At least I was not the only one thinking that the kid was doing the one finger wave

Very nice! Sometimes the simplest things are the most impressive.

I guess that's a good thing. It's the little things of a billboard that will get a drivers attention. How many people will drive by and say, "Did that kids just flip me the bird?" LOL The kid in the pic is my youngest son. After at least a hundred attempts to get a good picture, this was the best we could get.....him pointing at the camera. We thought about photoshopping out the finger, but concluded it may be an effective attention getter.

I think it's appropriate, given the question next to him. I know I felt that way towards a few mechanics.

Good job on the wrenches and the billboard. Good photo of your son.

Yeah, I'd look twice at that billboard. Turned out great! Glad the client liked it as well. Smart client.
