Yay Dan!

I was thinking of them going on the dash, so when you drive past people or when they walk past your mini they can see it and think ooooh!

Or maybe one to go on the parcel shelf like Bounce said.

I'm thinking that a nodding one won't work very well as he'd have to have a separate head and umm...he's all head So a wobbling sign, or wobbling arms as David suggested or wobbling entire on a spring?

[*DJH*]

I was going to have a seperate head, hand with sign and have the hand and sign on a consealed spring (i can't really explain it, but i know what i mean)

What sort of size would it be?

I think this is a sweet idea, I like the idea of the nodding TMF smilies!


I'm pretty good with my hands and can model pretty much anything out of fimo, so if you'd like me to knock up a proper 'prototype' at some point. Let me know!


This guy is also an old friend of mine..... have a look at his website; Andy's Sculptures - He can make just about anything and is an expert at mould making etc.... So if I have a chat to him, he may be able to make some very special little people for us! No idea about prices yet though obviously, I will need to have a chat to him first and also gauge whether he has time to do it etc etc......

I'd rather just buy a TMF badge for my mini

[Hannioli]

Each to their own Pete!

Amy, that would be amazing if you could!! If you have spare time and wouldn't mind having a go, please do! though permission from Nick for all of this considering it'll have TMF on it and all

I think you're saying what I was trying to say Dan. Go for it, I was thinking maybe 3" x 2"? or do you reckon that's a bit small?

[mini93]

bout 3-4 inch square for the body id say, the obviously arms and sign in proportion

id have a go if i had clay etc

What I'll do is wait until we have final say so from Admin.... proper figures on how many people are willing to buy one, and more importantly what they will cough up for the little guys!

Andy is a REALLY busy person as you can imagine, so I would never dream of going to him until everyone is certain about something.....

I'll keep an eye on this topic!

[Hannioli]

I've pm'd you Amy

[The Matt]

I'd say that about a 50mm cube for the body would be a good size. With a suction cup to hold it to the dash, then a shallow spring up into the base, so the whole thing wobbles.

[The Matt]

Oh, and the other thing I'd like to add, is that it'd be nice to give a percentage to Macmillan

[Hannioli]

that's a really nice idea Matt


I got bored of revising and thought I'd make a little prototype only I don't have any clay or plasticine or anything

soooooo true blue peter stylee, got me some paper, scissors, glue, sellotape and a pen...and here's one I made earlier

it even wobbles and has changeable sign posts he's 2" cubed by the way

please bear in mind that it is made of paper and the actual figures will look soooo much better as I suck at anything arty and also they won't have crumpled faces!!

[*DJH*]

That looks great Han

[Hannioli]

why thank you both A clay type one is being made up now as we speak (not by me though... )

you get the idea of the guy though, could have a smaller one to hang as an air freshener!


my paper one's sitting as my desk buddy now he's so cute *prods*
