Isaac and I got a very unique opportunity through InnovaLUG, to build a series of Nutcrackers based off of the promotional Nutcracker set to aid in The LEGO Group’s advertising of the promotion. You can see that video on their Facebook page here. They needed 18 unique outfits for Nutcrackers built within a few weeks, and we jumped at the chance to do some building for the LEGO group.
This forestman was based off of one of the classic forestman designs, and although pretty simple, it was a lot of fun to make. The shaping for his cap was a fairly tricky, but after I few iterations I found that wedge slopes worked pretty nicely. Another challenge was attaching the quiver in such a way that the functionality of the nutcracker wasn’t inhibited.
