Mostly taken from the toy rather than the show, with two exceptions. One, I treated the handlebars as thumbs, so didn't sculpt them on. Two, I added the lightbar on the forehead. I departed from the toy design a little in terms of lessening the amount of black on the back, as well. The head still turns in theory, but only has about five degrees of freedom between the struts. I did look around a bit for some premade wheels to cut up for the back, but ended up taking some scrap slab from the Pathfinder project and dremeling it into the desired shapes. The smallest round cutter head was useful for that, and for putting the grooves on the boots.

I definitely prefer Apoxie Clay over Apoxie Sculpt for my style of kitbashing. Sculpt may be stronger, but it's harder to work with in small amounts. Both are easier to mix than Milliput, though.

At the moment, I'm sticking to ones where I own the toy, so I have good closeup reference. And I don't have Smallfoot as far as I can recall.
