What?
What is going on?
Hello, I am Kritch, this is the interweb, and these are Robots.
Once apon a time I trained as a Product Design Engineer and I'm now a Freelance Design Maverick and CAD Monkey.
Using mainly cardboard I plan to take over the world. Then live in a castle (that isn't made of cardboard).
There's things to see in the menu bar above or you could find out what Happy Orange has Been up to
The Most Recent Thing That Has Happened
21nd of December 2009
Hello, A combination of working late and playing basketball 3 nights a week has left me no time to make a LEGO animation this year, however if you are in need of Christmas papercraft I have been making a lot of these cute Christmas Trees. They were made by Kenn Munk a few years ago and are still available to download from his site. (Go to shop + downloads then x-mass card). And there is always last year's snowman to build if you haven't done so already. Hopefully I'll have some new stuff soon.

Hurray,
I've sorted all the problems, i think, and I've added a few things that I forgot to add last update.
I'm not sure how I could have missed a 3ft 9in giraffe.
Also, new fact
26th of August 2009 - Update It seems I may have been a bit premature with my woohoo-ing as, as you can see, There are many things wrong with this page, I'll sort it soon, but right now I'm too tired.
26th of August 2009
WoooHooo
I've finally got the site updated, i've changed the layout on a lot of the pages, simplified things and made it easier for me to modify in the future, I've also added a few new robots that I've been working on since christmas, and hopefully there'll be some new Happy Orange facts and some make-your-own-models soon.

Still updating website things.
However I have just finished my entry for Shelter's "House of Cards" competition, they've put together a deck of cards for charity and have got 52 artists and designers to create artwork for each card, except the 8 of clubs, which was open to the public to design. Everyone can now vote for their favourite 8 of clubs and the top five will be put to artist Simon Henwood who will choose the winner which will be included in the deck.
My card is opposite. (There wasn't a theme to adhere to apart from it had to be the eight of clubs).
If you want to can vote for it (although the only choices are 'love it' or 'hate it') The direct link to the page is here, (although for some reason it doesn't show the whole card)
or you can go here and in the find a card drop down tab in the top right type in XFQYU0L which should bring it up.
Tell your friends. If you want. You can see all the other entries in the gallery section of the site, and vote as many times as you like for as many different cards as you like.

Mmm, Everything is taking a bit longer than I expected, and I keep getting distracted. I'm aiming to have things done approximately sometime, hopefully sooner. Meanwhile, here is a picture of something I made recently.
26th of April 2009
Hello. I have been making things, but I was planning to do some redesigning of the site before I added them, and I haven't done that yet. I plan to do it sometime. probably.
You can find all the old stuff in the Archive Pages if you want.
