Step 1: The Body

Grab a half cylinder and merge a slightly smaller half cylinder hole inside of the first one. You won't be able to see any openings!

Step 2: Head

A cube for the head!

Step 3: Arm Joints

Add two sockets to the sides of the body (the sockets can be found under "connectors"). After that, place a hollow cube inside of the head and merge the entire thing.

Step 4: Arms

Slice off some of a half-cylinder to get an arm shape, and add a seated ball to the arm. Merge, and then copy and paste for the second arm.

Step 5: Drainage Holes

Add drainage holes to the bottom.

Step 6: Drainage Plate Connectors

Grab two cylinders and change the dimensions to 3 mm in diameter. Lift the body 5 mm above the surface, and move the cylinders underneath. Merge.

Step 7: Drainage Plate

Get a rectangle with the same dimensions as the bottom of the body. Add a slightly smaller rectangle to create an open box - don't merge yet!

Step 8: Legs

Make a leg from a rectangle and a cylinder. Merge and duplicate.

Step 9: Adding the Legs

Position the legs and merge the drainage plate.

Step 10: Drainage Plate Connectors

Get another cylinder and change to 6 mm in diameter. Add a hole in the middle with diameter 4 mm and merge.

Step 11: Almost Done...

Place the centre of these hollow cylinders so that they correspond with the centers of the drainage plate connectors on the body piece. Merge the drainage plate!
