I’ve always wanted to visit the Getty Center in LA. Thanks for sharing – The interpretation of Art is always interesting to see from an “Engineer’s” perspective!

Thanks. Since I didn’t have toy cars as a kid (brothers and cousins did), I was wondering if those board game parts that are often linked together in a square, you know the ones that need to be broken apart, might also be made from this process. Are they too small?

An example are plastic model cars you can purchase in a hobby shop.

It all sounds very interesting, and complex. It’ll give me a new appreciation for the sculptures I now see in parks, musuems, lobbies and elsewhere. I’d like to know what toys you were referring to so I can have that Wow, how’d they do that reaction! I’m not an engineer…
