Ha ha ha ha ha yessssss an update this a great ha ha ha ha ha he looks like he's gonna go on one heck of an adventure but now i have to wonder where is he going ? hmmmmmm i guess well see
Meet Olof, a 104 year old retired scientist who got immensely bored
with the slow pase at the retirement home. Using what ever material he
came across, he constructed what he needed to show the world the biggest
firework ever! Or alteast thats what he said…
There is still tons of texturing to do, and also posing of the
character. He might even get some sort of controller for his flying
contraption.
Olof, the retired scientist wip by Niklas Ă–hrberg on Sketchfab
Such a fun character! And his objective is funny too. Nice job on the textures. The topology seems pretty dense, but that;s alright if you're not planning to animate him. I also noticed that the giant back seems to be anti-gravity. Since it's so huge the weight would drag more underneath the character, unless Olof is flying at super speed! Looking forward to the finished piece 
Ha ha ha ha ha GO TEAM OLOF! wow dude the texturing is blowing me away man and whats more exciting is the fact that you said more texturing is still coming up well you've got my undivided attention oh just a heads up one of the chains on the left side of the bag isn't connected just in case you missed it
Updated version. I've added some environment to point out the fact that he isn't air born (yet), and there is a big chance he never will be as the machine might fail a bit.... Olof is the type of man who can calculate the mass of the universe but struggles with more practical tasks.
Olof, the retired scientist v 0.8 wip by Niklas Ă–hrberg on Sketchfab
Yeah, I do agree that the model is a bit dense, both in polygon count and in the size of the textures, but I felt that it was ok as, like you guessed, I do not intend to animate this model.
This is pretty heavy on the download ha ha ha ha might wanna shave off some textures coz i can't see OLOF (CRYING FACE)
Olof is still on to it! The only thing remaining is to posé him (even thou the T-pose actually kind of works). Still a bit heavy on the download as I couldn't cut down on the textures without it hurting to mush (love details)...
