Toys: Wooden Family

I've re-done Dol.

Instead of a cyclops doll I thought a wooden toy train might be better as you can show more interaction between creature and object.

Dolly!

All unpainted like.

All painted like.

I'd recently seen 'kill bill' for the first time the other day and I thought what a better role model than Uma Thurman's 'bride' to show the cyclops youth the value of forgiveness.

Cyclopes like to fish. (in my mind)

I always knew the broken umbrella would come in handy.

Hook, line and sinker.

The idea behind the paint was to give them personality.

I think if I give them an accessory it will give them another side to 'em.

So I give you a balloon.

Made from paperclip and modelling foam.

What else than red?



Toys: Wooden Family

I want to add a bit of colour to them.

Lets make stripey jumpers.

Masking tape primed.

Paint applied.

Masking tape removed.

The eyes were still not popping out enough for me so I painted them aswell.

It's like a terrifying family photo.

Lots of progress recently...

From un-varnished...

...to varnished.

Toys: Wooden Family

Been making simple boxes for the packaging of the cyclops'. They're made from mountboard, double-sided sticky tape and paper.

Handy gap so you can pull the lid off.

Might display the cyclops' by standing them on top. using the boxes as plinths.

Cut the brass for the leg.

How many times has the mezzadro chair gone wrong?
1: Ripped into the seat when cutting.


2: piece of plastic wasn't big enough for the vacuum former.



3: Started cutting the holes too big.


4: Nothing wrong. Technician suggested some things to make it better.


5: Which I did on no.5.

Got a one mm drill bit and stuck it all the way through the dimply areas.

Made a blunt wooden tool to encourage the plastic to do what it needed to do.

Replica: Mezzadro

Started the second part of the brief.

Making another model out of similar materials.

Learnt a little trick today.

Pin the foam model in the dips, this allows the plastic to get into the details.

The offcut plastic looks like a face if you add eyes.

Or Edvard Munch's 'scream' if you want to get into specifics.



'Oh sugarmonkeys'!'



I think I might do the seat again because it has split a bit up one side.
