How to build?

A short sequence to guide the build.

  1. 01

    Build a compact body that acts as the centre of weight for the figure.

  2. 02

    Add legs in pairs: first on one side, then mirrored on the other side.

  3. 03

    Keep the leg ends resting at a similar height.

  4. 04

    Finally, check stability by moving the figure gently across the table.
