Cardboard Knight Toy, Done

The molds I made turned out nicely, so here is the first toy that I cast from said molds and painted.

Here’s another couple views of the toy unassembled with all of its accessories, front and rear view:

I’ve got a growing stack of parts ready to make more of them, and whenever a piece doesn’t turn out right (say because an air bubble got trapped in it) I fill in the error with clay and sometimes do minor customization, so many are a little bit different and has unique character of its own. Anyway… I stayed up too late last night painting, and then had to get up very early to get Nefarious to the bus as she’s in ski camp all week, so maybe I can add a half hour nap before she returns to the three scant hours I got last night.

    I hope you add one or two of these to that store you plan on putting up. I’d love one in my toy collection.
