They say the pen is mightier than the sword, but in the physical sense, can this tiny plastic contraption really best a giant, razor-sharp knife near the length of a man?
I certainly wouldn't bet on it...
On another note, will the pen best my Rhino modelling capabilities?
(To be frank.... I would't bet on that either...)
Simply put, out next JWLM 216 project is to create a Rhino model of an existing item (Enter Retractable Pen) that is true to scale.
(Another shot of the pen... amazing.. right?)
I've always found retractable pens fascinating in a strange way, mostly because they are fun to fiddle with when you have nothing to do (or... even when you do have something to do), and have taken them apart and reassembled them on multiple occasions (or... on quite a frequent basis out of sheer boredom).
The retractable pen seems simple enough as a mechanical device, made up of the ink tube, spring, casing, and.... clicky things.... but we shall soon see how hard it will be to model using a program such as Rhino.
Stay tuned for the final results (and to see if the pen be mightier than me)!
