But Keepon meatballs? Keepon broccoli? Hey, whatever floats your boat. I DO love the art of Bento, ever since I edited the Bento Box piece for our Best of Instructables book. One of these days, I'll get around to trying my hand at it. Keepon Bento In the Maker Shed: The Best of Instructables Volume I The Instructables staff, the editors of MAKE, and the Instructables community itself put together this collection of the best food, home and garden, technology, science, and crafts how-to's from the site.

The piece that first caught my eye was his M6G pistol made of foam. He's been posting to the MAKE Flickr pool for quite a while, allowing us to see what he's up to as the projects evolve. Recently, we've had an email exchange where he has shared some of the process and techniques that he is employing on this masterful personal project. He has also been posting updates for the work on his blog. There are a few others who have been down this road, though most people in the hobby tend to take the easy way out, either with low-detail suits and props which are quick to build, or recasting statues to build armor. A few have gone all the way to full suits, but mostly by hand-sculpting everything - which probably works out to the same amount of hours. Check it out after the break for details on his software and prototyping techniques.
