New McDonaldland set

Here is what I have been working on lately. As you can see, I have made duplicates of some characters. Some I will keep and the others will likely be sold. As you can see, there is a new merry-go-round in the works too. It is made out of a beautiful piece of oak that I could just not bring myself to paint over with a coat of green paint. I think I'll be going with wood stain with this one to preserve the nice look of the wood grain.
This set is far from finished. More characters are needed, as well as more play features beside just the merry-go-round. Hopefully when it's done I can find a good home for it (if I can bear to part with it myself)!

Hamburglar

This is the first Hamburglar figure that I have ever made. He is based not on the familiar modern version, but on the version that I remember when I was growing up in the 1970's and 80's.

A Work in Progress

Here's a shot of a work in progress. It's always a dusty job, but I enjoy it. Can you guess what I'm making there?
More completed toys will be posted soon, as I am currently working on a large batch.

Rowlf the Dog

Rowlf is the third Muppet Show character that I've made (the other two being Kermit and Fozzie). Rowlf is a figure that I remember wanting when I was little. Unfortunately there was no such figure!

Fry Guy

Fry Guy's are fun little McDonaldland characters aren't they! This little fellow is my very first Fry Guy, as well as being my first full bodied character. I decided that he needed to be full bodied since the skinny legs and big shoes are such an important part of the look of the character.

Mayor McCheese

I have already made several copies of Mayor McCheese, but this time around I thought I would try something new with him. It was a lot more work and I suffered a few injuries in the process, but in the end, I'm pleased with how he looks. However, this may be the last time that I make Mayor McCheese in this style!
