1/14 bruder size articulatated man for truck and tractor cabs or just plain fun

thingiverse

I'm excited to share with you a simple 1/14 articulated man that can easily fit into your tractors and trucks. This model is designed to be almost identical in size to a Bruder character, allowing for easy comparison. Now that it's fully articulated, I plan to create a stand so these models can stand on their own without any assistance. I apologize to anyone who has been trying to follow my progress, as I know it can be frustrating to keep up with my creative endeavors. It's no secret that crazy people like me have a lot going on in our minds, and I'm certainly no exception. After printing the model, I used nails from a Brad nailer for the hinges and attached them while the model was still on the raft. This helped keep all the parts in their proper locations. Next, I filed, painted, and filled all the joints with a generous amount of paint. This not only tightened up the loose joints but also held the nails securely in place. Who knows? Maybe this simple man will be too much fun to play with when it's put into your equipment. Now that I've worked out all the bugs, I can create one of these models in just a day. In fact, I'm already thinking about designing a female version as well as some action figures and lawn mower extra hands with closed and open hands. Safety cones and safety barricades might even be part of this new line of products. This one was certainly challenging to make, but I'm looking forward to the fun that comes next.
