I wanted to get cracking on this (HA!) because I have a second part of this that’s even bigger and better but it makes me a little nervous, lots of pieces and rather intricate. Hopefully I can get it done as quick as I did this one

Ooooo! There’s MORE!? Eep!

I won’t be getting to work on mine directly for a few more days, at least, but I have been plotting and scheming while working away on my autumn chores, etc.

I designed this from scratch, using Tinkercad online software, then 3D printed it. The jester stick is the full sized head reduced. I’m digging this new toy!

He’s turning more jester than “Lord of Misrule,” but they share an in-your-face snarkiness. Now I’m considering what colors to paint him…

WOW! That’s so cool, @steiconi! Thanks for sharing the in-process shots!

Well, winter came hard and fast to our place over the weekend so I have been super busy preparing (stacking the last of the firewood, thawing and putting away the hose, getting the handyman here for the last couple of projects, etc.) Then I have spent some hours plowing and shoveling, too.

I mean, I know Montana has a certain reputation, but this is EARLY!

That’s hilarious because when I was stuffing the mouse I turned him around and said “thicc” :laughing:
