About
What exactly is WiKKiD Widgets? that my friends is one damn good question…
WiKKiD Widgets is the culmination of passions…
My passion for 3D modeling…
My passion for Remote Control toys…
My passion for mechanical engineering…
My passion for the arts…
But mostly, My passion to create…
WiKKiD Widgets had its initial start in Anchorage Alaska back around 1998.
The concept was a rough idea of making a tiny little company that was nothing more than an outlet to sell the huge assortment of Widgets that I make. Over time the concept has evovled, but the core principal has remained the same. I have had delusions of grandeur that one day I could make a living just creating and selling. Who knows, one day that may be. But I still haven’t quite decided what I want to be when I grow up. >LOLz<
3D Arts
I adore 3D modeling. I have been using Blender since the Days of NaN. (Over ten years) I have explored just about every facet of 3D you can think of. Modeling, CNC , Animation, Sculpting, 3D Printing, Etc.. Etc…
I had an article of mine Published in BlenderArt magazine (Issue 18: Landscapes, Environments, and Sets) that covered one method of going from Blender to CNC titled ‘

RC Toys
Ages ago when WiKKiD Widgets was just a idea floating around in my head, the RC world was producing prolific amounts of shoddy ‘add-ons’ or ‘Hop-ups’ that us RC enthusiasts would buy mostly because they were made of Aluminum or some other such material stronger than the default plastic we got with our rigs. Pure function, no form, no art, no real ‘sex appeal’. Although the market has VASTLY improved, there are still huge gaps in available products. Well, that’s where WiKKiD Widgets came in. My work in this area was to bring not only functional add ons, but bring the ‘Yowza’ back to the hobby! Hard core options that not only enhance performance, but truly trick-out the look and feel of your RC Vehicle. Since those humble beginnings, I have been designing and crafting my Widgets and offering them up to the world.

Aside from 3D artistry, I have been known to doodle on occasion…

Inspirations…
Perfection is not a destination, it’s a journey…
Keating: I want you to find your own walk right now, your own way of striding, pacing: any direction, anything you want. Whether it’s proud or silly. Anything. Gentlemen, the courtyard is yours. You don’t have to perform. Just make it for yourself. Mr. Dalton, will you be joining us?
Dalton: Exercising the right not to walk.
Keating: Thank you, Mr. Dalton. You just illustrated the point…
