Climbing Cardboard Gorilla

Step 8: Improvements?

When I first made this, I was planning to somehow disguise the corrugated card. Paint, maybe, or a thin layer of papier mache.

You could do these, of course, but after spending three days looking at his ugly mug, Gorilla kind of grew on me.

I like him the way he is, and I'm not going to change him.

If you, however, make him differently, or make a different animal climb the string, then please post pictures of your creations in the comments. I'd love to see them.

PS for non-pro members, I have added the PDF to this step.

To get a good surface to work on even the edges, use filler or plaster of pairs then sand down to a good finish, this is how I get my creations a smoother look and it gives more strength to the product.

Thanks, I never thought of filler.
