Mii Figurine

I think Wii Avatars are really cute, especially if they actually look like you, it's like a little caricature of yourself.  It occurred to me that it would be even better if you can have a figurine of your Mii.  I noticed that there are a few places online were you can have your own Mii made but  they cost around $50.  So instead I bought some polymer clay and made my own.

If you know what your friends' Mii look like this can make a fun gift. Or you can make one of yourself and your partner/significant other holding hands for Valentine's Day or even use it as a wedding cake topper.

If you don't have a Wii system and wished you had a Mii there are several online Mii editors you can use to create one.

This turned out very well. Kind of reminds me of a project or two that I did a while back. I made a Dr. Mario Statue and a set of Homemade Action Figures for Christmas presents two years ago.  I might try and remember this idea if I get another whim for personalized presents.

Thanks. I think you did an amazing job on your Mii. At first glance it looks like the game graphics.

For better smoothing, I've heard brushing lighter fluid over the surface lightly with a paintbrush is a good technique.

This is just great! Since you had to lay it down to cook do you still think the armature is necessary?

Hi, this is really cool, I don't know if you've seen this, I think to use of plastic parts is smart to give it a nice look.
