Yep.
I guess some of the confusion is that "Mr" is Italian can be "Sig", "Signor" or "Signore" depending on how it is used. So where "Mr" alone would be "Sig", "Mr GKP1992" would be "Signor GKP1992". I was relying on the fact that "Italian" would provide that context part in addition to being the language indicator.
Or at least that is my understanding from my very brief research yesterday.

This is why I did not answer  . It is a responsibility  .

Yeah, that was it. I picked up on the Italian use indicating the language, but when using google translator I got "sig" for "Mr" hence my confusion. I didn't know there was another word Signor.

If there is one thing I know about other languages, it's that they are never as simple as you want them to be

Yes you are correct. Sorry for the delay, been in a meeting.

I was messing around in Tinkercad yesterday, still trying out different things etc etc. and popped over here for a peek at something, and ![Green Alien | [Alien]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/alien.gif) looking at me in the header got me thinking. How would I try to assemble using basic shapes, etc. After a few minutes of having 3 spheres as a starting point, the eldest daughter walked in and in the usual, "what you doing" then proceeded to start back seat driving.....
Anyway, after her coming and going a few times and trying different approaches, particularly the eyes, got as far as the link below. Now, having never met , I have no idea if it is a fair resemblance or not, and only working on the image in the header, I think its not too bad, even if I do say so myself.
Haven't tried to 3D print it, so no idea how it would come out, probably need some refinement, especially the fingers.
Anyway, here is the link: 3D design CodeProject Bob | Tinkercad
(you can then click the 3D view, and scoot around in it)

Very good work!
When seeing it I was thinking, that in my mind Bob is more rounded, especially the belly part...

Yeh, I did have him a bit rounder at the start, but it looked weird, maybe more refinement needed once the skill set evolved!
I'm sure there are many better creative types on here that can show us what is possible!
I printed out a Baby Groot for the youngest, it came out amazing! Found it on Thingiverse. I put some pictures over on my blog here: 3D Printed Baby Groot

The belly will be hard to do right. Note that that dot on it is not a a navel and also not a screw that keeps his rear parts in place. It's the indention of spacetime, caused by his mobile quantum singularity to power his phone.

You missed a button.
|

If you are referring to the belly one, nope, it's there......
|
|

|
|
Ah... I see, a bit obscure.

He seems to have gained weight - and lost a belly button!
Good job though!

The belly button is there....maybe needs to be more defined. I did an iny maybe it should be an outy?

I'm no expert on alien anatomy - have you asked Captain Kirk?

IIRC, Captain Kirk was only interested in alien girls (women, in modern parlance). Is Bob female?

I was going to post something to that effect but decided to read the thread, first.
As far as I can tell, this is a painful example of politically correct Gender-Neutrality.
When push comes to shove, gender neutrality would seem to eliminate the possibility of a lot of fun times. Not necessarily the best plan in from viewpoint.
Oh Brave New World !

Only because he was filmed in an era when you couldn't show the underside of a female breast on TV: more modern Star Trek is a load more inclusive - Discovery had Stamets in a gay relationship, remember.
If the original series was filmed now, there would be a lot more "Inclusiveness" in aliens than we got to see!

Excellent. I would need another version with a panicked look on his face and the arms up as if he was putting his hands on a glass window. Then I can print him and take him for a helicopter flight.

I perceive him (her) as more representative of two cones base to base, a sphere superimposed on the lower cone to trim it's misplaced parts but fitting withing that cone to flow with the body style.
