Toys: Wooden Family

With added feet.

The scale of the things.

How it moved before feet vs. the wooden model with feet.

Feet win.

Wrist Watch

Been busy this weekend trying to make the replica wristwatch. It takes a lot longer than you think.

I'm not sure that I'm making the straps quite right. The pins will be cut down to size so they don't stick out.

Toys: Wooden Family

Finally got the right sized dowel for the necks.

I'm going to re-do the arms. If it doesn't work, I'll stick with the old ones.

Assignment
1.Take 2 existing products and using your roll of gaffer tape join them together to make another functional object.

Toys: Wooden Family

The Cyclops Family

Started adding the arms. They look more like characters now rather than some shapes.

I'm not happy with the arms though and might re-do them.

Wrist Watch: Drawings

Toys: Wooden Family Drawings

Main Body

Head

Toys: Wooden Family

I've decided to go with the cyclops family idea. People seem to like it more than birdy.



The family so far...





Toys: Metal Vehicle

Finally got around to welding today and I don't mean the sort of welding that goes on in 'Flashdance'. I didn't weld 2 random pieces of metal together, the pieces i welded had purpose.

Pictured: Not flashdance

It looks unneat at the moment but I'll file down the welds a bit later because I think I've done enough today.

It hurts when I click the mouse.

Just the wheels and the plastic coating to do.

Toys: Metal Vehicle

Just need to weld it together now and add wheels.

Yup, I wish I hadn't gone for the scoobydoomobile.

Stupid barcode stuff

I hate photoshop. I also hate how i've forgotten to put the barcode numbers on the pictures.

Toys: Wooden Family

Why do I keep on changing my mind?

I've obviously got owls/parrots/ penguins on the brain.

Toys: Wooden Family

Animation messin'

HELLO

Toys: Wooden Family

Forget cyclops, think birdies.

Toys: Cyclops idea

Originated from when I plonked a round piece of metal on a square piece. I thought it looked like a face.

Toys: Wooden Family

Change of plan. Think Cyclops'

A quick model here.

A quick model there.

Toys: Wooden Family

Top Row: Apples with faces.
Second Row: Fat people (didn't intentionally make it look like the pepsi symbol)
Third Row: Jaws, Flipper, Willy
Last Row: Blackbird or summat.

Yup, I'm struggling with ideas for this one.

Toys: Metalwork

Ideas for the metal transport toy. I decided to make forms from fictional vehicles.

The mystery machine looked the easiest, here's the technical drawing of it.

The two main pieces cut. I need to file down the edges, create the roof rack, add the spare tyre, cut holes for the wheels, weld it all together and then paint it!
