We all make jokes that don't land, but sometimes we make jokes that should've been funny if anyone understood it.

Maybe it was too subtle, or too nuanced like a joke based off work-jargon.

Whatever it was, what joke did you say that should've had people in stitches but... didn't land?

Now is your time!

Btw, your figurines, and the framing/setting of the picture, are pretty rad.

So you make these as a hobby?

Are all of the models you make similar characters just in different settings/outfits/poses?

What kind of printer do you use?

    Thank you. I do photography occasionally as a hobby. Tho I did use my phone. I manipulated the lighting to force the phone camera to open up the aperture, which makes the depth of field shallow. Which makes the background blurry.

    It's easy to do in a dslr. But you have to trick a phone camera to do it. Via Low lighting.

    Also yes I'm just a hobbyist. And there are two of these models. Sitting and standing. They are based on vintage Japanese Xmas decorations called "snow baby".

    They are rare and expensive. Made in the 60s.

    I wanted to make my own.

    I also make other little characters/dolls and other random stuff.

    I like vintage kitchy stuff.

    My last big project was designing a working cat clock with tail and eyes that move. Based on kit cat clocks. But different enough they can't sue me. ๐Ÿ˜…

    All my models are free.

    But as for the snow babies. Ive made like 30 of them. I have friends, relatives, and people from online groups who want some. So I've been making a ton.

    There are some on my Instagram but I have way more.

    Also a model for the brick and Molotov on there.

    Do you do 3d printing ?
