Happy Bastille Day
Hey everybody! I went looking on Thingiverse for some things that might help you celebrate le quatorze juillet and I must say…things are not looking so French right now. We have the French Curve which actually does look vaguely French. And then there are these French Fries…and that’s about it. A search for France turns up some French Thingiverse users (formidable!) but not a lot of France-themed 3d models. I don’t even see a fleur-de-lis.
I was really hoping for a small model of the Bastille itself which an enterprising printer might be able to print and then overrun with a number of mini-figs. Let’s all get modeling so we can symbolically throw off the tiny plastic shackles of oppression next year, fellow-citizens!
Liberté, égalité, fraternité ou la mort!

To make sure I keep my British Citizenship I am legally required to point out that when the Bastille was stormed, there were just 7 prisoners within.
That and the fact that the cost of supporting the American Revolution was a major factor in precipitating the French Revolution.
But don’t think I’m complaining, cause the metric system is awesome.
