Description
This is Kevin a hand crafted minion. Inspired by the film "Despicable Me".He stands 5" tall with his very own miniature bazooka.
I have constructed both the character and all props from scratch.
I have used a variety of woods including tulip, walnut, ebony, oak, paduak and sycamore.
As always parts used are recycled.

I know, Dave also had curtains not spikey hair. Kevin is my own creation, maybe he borrowed the rocket launcher from Dave

My goodness this is AMAZING!! Not only have you chosen an absolutely brilliant character to create, and carried it off convincingly and with the humour of the film captured perfectly, but you've done it with amazing technique as well! I take my hat off to you, sir!

This is very well done. What tools did you use for this piece, if I may ask? The detail is wonderful. Well done.

All the big cuts were done on the bandsaw, then I moved to the bench sander to smooth everything out and from that point everything was done with a No3 Swan Morten scalpel. Hope that helps?

My son wants his Dad to make him one. He loves Despicable Me. He loves evil/bad guys. His evil laugh is awesome (he's four years old)

I see. How much did you get yours for if I may ask?

back2root In reply to zhanyuhao [2011-07-31 10:29:22 +0000 UTC]
They range in price from around £6-£20. Just do a search for "glass eyes" and loads pop up! Hope that helps!
