Working with my characters T-Pose, I sketched out the proportions for my wooden model, including the lengths of wood that I will cut and what aspects will be split up to make up the limbs, so they are able to move.

I soon realised a problem I had made pretty soon.. My wood had been cut too thin. Because Davvid is thin, I wanted to re-create this thinness in my model, however this has come with consequences because when I drilled to insert wire to attach his limbs, the MDF split.

So I had to glue back the pieces and leave it in the vice.

This meant I could no longer attach my limbs with wire using the drill, so I had to use these hooks instead which were extremely fiddly and not very secure;

I then glued on a nose to define his features;

Then finally I had a finished putting together my wooden model.
