To honor his dog Chloe, who recently died, Brian modified a Hasegawa 1/20 scale Ma.K Großer Hund with 3D-printed leg brackets to mimic tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO) brackets used for dogs. He painted it to look like Chloe with Vallejo and Reaper acrylics, dabbing some on with a sponge to make the finish appear hammered. He dubbed the modified robot the “Chlover Hund” and placed Chloe’s ID chip in its right hand, which it picked up for examination.
