Christmas Build #2 - Raptor Ranchero - GC Chimaera

[eldanko]

I had originally built this board up for myself, but I find myself using the Kingslayer pretty much all of the time so I figured it'd be more fun to give it away.  Most of the Klones that I see on the market have some iteration of the "horsie man" on them, so I decided mine should have a fellow riding a velociraptor instead. 

I used two of those colorful 1N34A workalikes from SmallBear in here, and they sound absolutely fantastic.  What a great diode.

hahahaha.

Quality!

I love it! A velociraptor is may better than a horse, for the most part.

Liking those diodes--I just realized those are probably the germaniums I used in my Wolfshirt! They don't have any labeling, right? I got them in a trade with Jacob, and they are awfully cute.

Horsie man, Minotaur, Star Wars Clone... Seen it.
Guy riding a velociraptor... Now that's a first!!
Good stuff.

I think the Sombrero is the part that made me smile.

Would a guy in a sombrero riding a raptor be called a Velociraptero?    Just geeking out over the linguistics, don't mind me!

[spaceboss]

That is wonderful.

^ wouldn't that be a velociraptor wearing a sombrero, or a velociraptor cross bred with a sombrero?

Both are sentences I never thought I would say!

That's a cool build right there.  As with all of your builds, great graphic.

caballo = horse 
caballero = horseman

vaquero = cowboy
velociraptor = knows every weak spot in the security fence
velociraptero = total badass

Feliz Navidad!
