The Chipmunk is crazy about Commander Keen, especially RoboRed. PROTIP: the (unofficical) sequel trilogy, "The Universe is Toast!" has been around for some time now: Episode 7, Episode 8, Episode 9 (all download links are on the right-hand sidebar). We're on episode 8 at the moment, and it's up there with the official releases in terms of quality.

Anyway, I decided to make Chipmunk a RoboRed of his own. I toyed with using salt-dough, so I could make a large scale one, or even attempt to make a plushie, but discovering I still have some red Fimo leftover, I went for that. And yes, being about 10 years old now, it did need reconditioning.

Before baking:

Some parts did fall off during baking, and I ended up pulling some pieces apart to make them easier to paint. This is the piece after baking, painting and reattaching. It would have looked a little better if I'd had metal tools rather than plastic ones.

Okay, I just found out you can buy 3D printer instructions for this dude. Too bad for Chipmunk we don't know anyone with a 3D printer.
