3D Boobs. I love this group! You might also consider maybe machining a 3D
mold and molding something out of silicon? You could also get an undercut
by doing a two piece mold if you don't have access to a 4-axis CNC.
For the Turtle Racer: I have mentioned this before in the group, but thought
I would reprise. If Hobby King are shipping from the US and the shipping is
exorbitant, suggest getting a Kinek account and shipping to Ogdensburg.
Picking up and paying for duty at customs can be a lot cheaper sometimes
than shipping direct if items are coming from the US. I was also able to
get a McMaster Carr shipment to my US address this way. If you do a bulk
order this would probably work.

I think I mentioned I had a friend that had her boobs reduced and I wanted
to make her something for her that was a little silly.
I think boob-bookends might be nice.
I need some help from someone who's a bit better at Sketchup than me.
I've got the some boobs in Sketchup but I'm having a hard time since I'm a
little less familiar with 3d stuff. I'm a bit better at 2.5D.
Anybody can help?

You might be able to use Make Human as a parametric starting point for your

I've already got lots of boobs, I'm just having a bit of trouble moving them
around and manipulating them.

Part of the issue is that most of the boobs require 4-axis or more. I have a
plan of changing things around to work with 3-axis CNC.
I just need to sit with somebody for 20m that knows sketchup better than me.

I also recently broke down the electronics costs as well, based on all hobby
gear from hobbyking (rather than splitting it up as per his electronics
document) cost is a little more, but more convenience (and it's likely
overkill for this application). Also some of the parts he calls for in his
doc are no longer in stock.
ESC - $25 -
http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__14634__Turnigy_TrackStar_1_10th_S
cale_60A_Car_ESC.html
Motor - $13 -
http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__15185__S2445_3200_Brushless_Inrun
ner_3200kv_.html
Battery - $14 -
http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=8912
Servo - $3 -
http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__662__HXT900_9g_1_6kg_12sec_Micro_
Servo.html
Radio - $20 -
http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__12177__HK_300_3_Channel_2_4ghz_FH
SS_Ground_Radio.html
All in electronics cost: $75 (plus shipping from china)
I'll be buying at least one set or two. And I know a couple others might be
interested. So if you like we can do a combine order for parts for a bunch
of these to save on shipping cost.
Let me know.
