    Hey all! :)

    Was a little too tired last night to even be bothered to play earlier in the evening so I dug out my soft modeling clay :) after an hour or so of delicate and precise hand moulding (using nothing but my fingers, 2 rulers, my desk! lol, and a few wooden cocktail sticks and a pair of scissors to cut the sticks!

    I am proud to present to you, my Minecraft Figurine!

    [​IMG]

    The arms move freely and so does the head, the legs can't be moved much due to them not being hinged. - The entire thing can also be de-assembled into 6 Parts - 1 Head - 1 Body - 2 Arms - 2 Legs.

    Pros:
    * It's a minecraft figuring! - One of a kind!
    * Can be taken apart and put back together!
    * The head rotates 360 degrees!
    * The arms rotate 360 degrees!
    * Legs can be moved "Very" slightly.
    * Hand crafted by me!
    * Pretty accurate due to the looks, size, and size ratio.

    Cons:
    * The hair and some other stuff didn't "Merge" aswell as I hoped.
    * It was starting to dry when I put the holes in for the "pivots" so some parts cracked a little.
    * The eyes look a bit retarded, but when the heads no bigger than the width of my little finger, it's not actually too bad.
    * I should of made the body entirely squared off. I tried to angle the bottom part on one side a little for the "shirt" as on the actual Minecraft guy himself. But that's cause the legs to be a bit uneven... (Nothing too major)
    * Legs don't move much (Restricted because they're held on with a "stick" between the body and the legs.
    * He doesn't stand up on his own. - Dried too quick didn't wanna waste anymore time making a base.
    > Nothing too major, can still make a base with "spikes" on to stick him on to :)

    Things I will change on my next model:

    * The body (made it more squareish so that the legs fit in better)
    * Arms: Put "holes" in the arms so that he can hold stuff :) like blocks, weapons, etc...
    * Stand: Make a weighted stand that he can slot on to!
    * Accessory: Make a block and a pickaxe accessory for him to hold! :)

    Feedback appreciated :) - Also I got a new forum signature I made in photoshop! Feedback on that also very much appreciated! :) Thanks!

    P.S. - If there's a genuine interest in these figures I'm able to make anything you can think of. But I may work on some other things such as creepers, zombies, pigs, sheep, etc... with some Blocks :)

    If the interest is high enough and players would want some irl, I could craft and post them for a fee :)

    Regards,

    Mike.

    That would be pretty hard lol this is very small and intricate :p the default skin was hard enough. - Else i'd do my cyclops skin lol. I guess I could paint them but :] I like the simple default one - everyone recognises it as the minecraft player ;] - thanks for the feedback :D

    Hehe yeah... I'd probably do some of those if they were custom order requests :] but I've only got limited stuff of this soft modeling clay (don't know where else to get it without getting ripped off! lol) - So :) just doing what I can when I can really :p

    Thanks ;] - Maybe I should do one of me and my cyclops skin ... you know :p with a detachable thong sash ;] just for you Deity! :p

    Hehe :p I'll make some of these if ppl wanna buy some :p but if not then I'm only making a small set for myself :) sorry :p don't wanna use all my modeling clay up cause it costs a fair bit to replace :p

    If anyone does want any making up, custom or whatever then let me know :] as long as you're willing to pay for the materials + time taken + postage. :)

    Regards,

    Mike.
