MACRODON 'XENON' -toy design

MACRODON #369 -'XENON' -final version.

xenon
1) 1898, from Greek, "foreign, strange," coined by its discoverer, Scottish chemist Sir William Ramsay (1852-1916)
2) 'vacuum' -properly a loan/translation of Greek, 'xenon,' lit. "that which is empty." Meaning "a place emptied of air" is attested from 1652.

(as seen here, the circle in the sketch is actually a hole)

upcoming projects - sneak peak #3

(whereas the others were 'sketched' first in clay)
