J'aimerais vous parler un peu plus de Moon-K...
Tout d'abord que les choses soient claires, malgré son nom ce robot n'a jamais vu la Lune. Créé dans les années 70, cet ordinateur autonome avait, d'après son créateur, pour mission de défendre la Terre, au sol.
Pourquoi commencer par ce jouet plutôt qu'un autre ? Parce-que c'est le dernier à avoir été livré... C'est celui qui nous aura pris le plus de temps.
Il aura fallu trouver le bon partenaire pour réaliser les stickers pour les yeux... En sérigraphie, s'il vous plait ! Il aura fallu s'assurer ensuite que chaque planche de sticker est proprement découpée. Nous avons compté 16 possibilités différentes mais c'est sans mélanger les motifs, vous pouvez vous amuser à mettre le regard que vous voulez à votre Moon-K il aura toujours l'air aussi impressionnant !
Le design du jouet est d'une extrême finesse. Oui le jouet est blanc mais sa décoration est toute en traits et en vis. Il aura fallu faire recommencer les peintures plusieurs fois avant que les traits ne soient correctement alignés et que les dessins des petites plaques correspondent bien aux planches techniques fournies par l'artiste.
Et puis il y a cette boîte. Un exemple en matière de documentation, la parfaite réplique d'un authentique container maritime ; les codifications des marquages sont rigoureusement fidèles aux normes. Regardez sur les côtés, le moteur qui sert à refroidir le container a chauffé l'affiche des mentions légales et dessous les frottements répétés ont usé une peinture sauvage représentant le monstre moderne.
Mais le mieux (ou le pire pour certains) reste à venir... Cette boîte, il va falloir la découper pour profiter pleinement de la base du Moon-K comme l'a conçue LeJam. La boîte, se découpe, se retourne et se transforme en display pour le jouet. Et on comprend mieux comment ce robot a pu atteindre notre époque sans s'abimer. Tout est prévu pour assurer sa maintenance, du générateur atomique à la sauvegarde de ses données... Même le plan de maintenance. Il y a tout.
Enfin pas tout puisque le papa nous parle déjà de modules supplémentaires en paper model à télécharger bientôt sur notre site...
A suivre !

Let me talk a little more about Moon-K ...
First of all, to be clear, despite its name this robot has never seen the moon. Created in the 70s, this self powered computer was, as told by its creator, created to defend the Earth, on the ground.
Why starting with this toy over another? Because it has been the last to be delivered ... It is the one which took the longest to be produced.
It took finding the right partner to make the stickers for the eyes ... In screen printing, please! We had then to ensure that each board of sticker is cleanly cut. We counted 16 different possibilities but without mixing patterns, you can have fun putting the look you want on your Moon-K it will always look as impressive!
The design of the toy is extremely fine. Yes the toy is white but its decoration is all in features and screws. We had to start over the paintings several times before the lines are properly aligned and that the drawings of small plates correspond to the technical sheets supplied by the artist.
And then there is this box. An example of documentation, a perfect replica of an authentic shipping container; markings are strictly faithful to the standards. Look at the sides, the motor used to cool the container has heated the printing with the mentions and below the repeated friction have scratched a painting depicting the wild-modern monster.
But the better (or worse for some) is coming ... This box, you will have to cut it out to enjoy the base of the Moon-K as conceived by LeJam. The box is opened, turned and turns into a display for the toy. And we understand better how the robot was able to achieve our time without being damaged. Everything is planned to ensure its maintenance, an atomic generator and safeguard for its data ... Even the maintenance plan. It has everything.
Well not everything, since its dad is already talking of additional modules in paper model for download soon on our website ...
To be continued!
