Dictator in a Box

[UnRuli]

I don't believe I can post photos directly at this time, but I couldn't hold out much longer so I've posted links.  I wanted to share my Jack-in-the-box (or rather Jacka$$-in-the-box) Kim Jong il.





He's made of super-sculpey with cloth arms (yes, you can see stitching on the shirt and I even sculpted a zipper!).  The arms each bobble separately and the figure itself also bobbles.  His glasses are made of wire and shrinky-dink and the box is wood.  The handle turns, and although there is resistance there is no music or anything.  The whole thing stands about 10" high.

ETA:  Links fixed

Oh, wow, haha, I think this is absolutely fantastic and clever. I think you should make more of these.
What kind of paint did you use?

[UnRuli]

The paint was just basic acrylic crafting paint (except for the green of the box which was spray-painted).

I will be taking a 3D Illustration course next semester so I'm looking forward to creating more three dimensional stuff. I'd never really done much like this before.

eta:  After painting the entire thing was sprayed (fabric too, but the glasses were removed) with clear satin spray paint.

  That is awesome! He is so detailed! I love that he's hiding a missile behind his back and doing the Dr. Evil pinky-finger thing.  What an adorable little dictator! Much better than the real-life Kim.

That is so amazing, what detail! I love the contrast between the fact that its a childrens toy and souch an adult subject kinda like political cartoons. :^)
