Btw, your figurines, and the framing/setting of the picture, are pretty rad. So you make these as a hobby? Are all of the models you make similar characters just in different settings/outfits/poses? What kind of printer do you use?

Thank you. I do photography occasionally as a hobby. Tho I did use my phone. I manipulated the lighting to force the phone camera to open up the aperture, which makes the depth of field shallow. Which makes the background blurry. It's easy to do in a dslr. But you have to trick a phone camera to do it. Via Low lighting. Also yes I'm just a hobbyist. And there are two of these models. Sitting and standing. They are based on vintage Japanese Xmas decorations called "snow baby". They are rare and expensive. Made in the 60s. I wanted to make my own. I also make other little characters/dolls and other random stuff. I like vintage kitchy stuff. My last big project was designing a working cat clock with tail and eyes that move. Based on kit cat clocks. But different enough they can't sue me. 😅 All my models are free. But as for the snow babies. Ive made like 30 of them. I have friends, relatives, and people from online groups who want some. So I've been making a ton. There are some on my Instagram but I have way more. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DSdvPdxiBGW/ My makerworld is https://makerworld.com/@Daann_ii?appSharePlatform=copy Also a model for the brick and Molotov on there. Do you do 3d printing ?
