Stick + Coal : the Minecraft torch of protection

I wanted some extra light here, so I decided to build a torch. While looking for the colors, i stumbled upon this model on ThinkGeek. it looks really nice, but my need for light is only on a metaphorical level. I kept it simple: print the model, cut and glue. Voilà!

What paper did you use?

I don't remember, i think it was a 80 lb paper. I had it printed at a printer, and i simply chose the thickest in the cheap papers!

Very cool,the kids love minecraft,think I'm gonna have to try making a few with wood and led's. Thanks for sharing.

This is pretty cool. I'm thinking of modifying this: Making the torch out of wood, and using plexiglas for the flame (painted or tinted, of course). Run an small lamp socket and wiring to it, and voila, you have a true lighting minecraft torch. My little nephew is gonna love it! Thank you for the inspiration!

My error, wrong file, but it's fixed now!

[secundine]

can we get color version that we can just print out?

[woz.artur]

D'oh! Sorry, I uploaded the wrong file, but it's now fixed: a color pdf and the original illustrator file if needed. Have fun!

Where did you find the model? Did you have to buy it?

[woz.artur]

Didn't find it, I made it :)
I used Illustrator, I'll upload the file here!
