How did you get started making?
When I was a child, my family education was very strict, so my tiger parents seldom bought me toys which were thought to be negative things, and I had to make toys by myself up to now.
What type of maker would you classify yourself as?
Aha, weapons! Most of what I made were part of weapons.
For example:
My electric baton
My gauss gun
My traditional Chinese bow

Armed tracked vehicle. I equipped it with a mechanical arm and an artillery.

The wolverine claw.
