Seriously had no idea what YKK was until the Pete & Bas lyric from Gangster Shit.
What’s YKK?
Just zipping around the lake
But those aren't the same though, I think the left one is CGI and the right is the real one. There's no window on the left one and it looks to be made of metal while the right one has a window and looks more like some kther material painted to look like metal. There are several other differences, just look at them.
The left one is the RC model they made before the right one (the full-size version)
It’s almost certainly fiberglass, probably either wood or foam core depending on weight and size.
I would totally make an RC version of this if I lived near a lake.
Does the zipper handle fold over to the other side in reverse mode?
Please tell me it's an icebreaker
It should get the conversation going alright.
- Break zip off clothing item
- Drop zip in puddle
- Photograph zip in puddle
- Quick bit of Gimp/Krita/Photoshop
- Tell internet people it's a boat
I adore the whimsy of this.
it doesn't look like it's unzipping anything that's ridiculous
This is magnificent!
Some interesting details here. I especially liked this image, because of how two people have to sit inside.
Great, now go in reverse and undo the boat wake :p
Illusion, Michael!
I have to wonder if there’s a way to make the water behind it look more zippery
Is it strange that I am aroused right now?
Your fun bits: "oh no, they are gonna do it again"
Moses, that you?
Great, another useless toy for the wealthy to spend their excess money on, instead of paying their employees, or their taxes.
I disagree with you, but you have a point. Inequality really makes it harder to enjoy stuff like this, as well as a lot of art.
Um, you can 3d print something like this super easy.
Wait, how big is this boat?
It’s only a model…
Shh!
