All Aboard, Savannah here, coming to you from the observation car of #AmtrakLIVE, the SXSW rail journey from Los Angeles to Austin, Texas. We are halfway through our 35 hour ride to the South by Southwest Interactive festival and guerrilla 3D Selfie scanning around town. The digital influencers aboard have been documenting the whole experience, including many of the designs by our Shop Owners! Special thanks to everyone who sent products along for the ride.
Long distance train travel is often forgotten about, but I can tell you after 17.5 hours on the Texas Eagle, it’s worth remembering. We have a very vibrant model train community here on Shapeways and it’s all the more clear to me now where the passion for locomotives comes from.

Next Stop: El Paso.
The masks make me think of how cool it would be if we could design full body exoskeleton art! Well, we can, but under the current pricing model it would be too expensive to make. When it changes one day I’ll be up font designing the most outrageous apparel imaginable! 😀
I guess I’ll have to find you during SX, aww yissss
