Ruud van Koningsbrugge

Congratulations on the prize! Any price -12 or other.

The pleasure is all mine!

Hey Leslie, Nice to hear my work inspires you. A little warning though. I used thick 3 mm roofing. Shingles are mostly 1 mm. That is not strong enough to stay in 3D shape. I only could make flat wallbirds with the thinner quality. See the Magpie below. More inspiration on my website ruudvankoningsbrugge.nl. Wish you lots of succes with your plans.

He's perfect! Good job. It a great compliment you let me be your inspiration.

In the picture you can see birdfeet out of óne bent wire. With this method you can skip the back toe if you want. A longer neck is made like the body with strips or a cone from the carton.

He is wonderful! If there are more gloves left in the bin, you can check out more glove projects at:https://www.etsy.com/nl/shop/PACKEREDO?ref=hdr_shop_menuhttps://www.redbubble.com/people/packeredo?asc=uor at https://www.ruudvankoningsbrugge.nl/

Thanks very much for such a big compliment!

Thanks for your comment. Sorry you did not win the camera, but You áre a winner! ( and I am sóóó super happy with the prize.......)

Hi Isaac. Thank you for thinking along. I like to work with what I have without buying. But an oval shape would work perfect. Thanks for the supplement. P.S. An oval ball here in the Netherlands is a rare and expensive find.

Hi, Silvia, I taped the battery pack to the cord it is hanging from. Works perfect.

Klinkt spannend! Voortgezet onderwijs neem ik aan. Ben benieuwd hoe de leerlingen erin slagen!

I am not familiar with the software of 3D printing, but I get the charm of it. Motorizing this paper model is a bit tricky I think, the paper would probably wear down very quick. Sorry to hear of your handicap. Wish you all the best from this side of the world ( Netherlands)

Thanks for that correction, and thanks for not noticing I'm Dutch, and can make silly mistakes in English. Antilope is Dutch. I will correct the instructable. Thanks!

hi, Graf X, I think the photo clarifies your problem. The loop goes through a small hole in the box. Why? At the time it seemed a good idea, and it works, so it is not bad. But I probably could just as well used the same method as I did with all the other wire connections. Hope this solves your problem. Sorry for not being clear sooner. I'll add the photo to the instructable.

The crows are now being made bij Lianne and for sale at her Etsy shop https://www.etsy.com/nl/shop/Trashsure023

Congratulations, You have done a wonderful job. The roof is a very good idea. I discovered after 6 weeks that a milk carton is not as watertight as I expected. There was a little garden going on inside the box.

That's a brilliant application!

Enjoy the idea in your own garden. Do not understand your question about matches.

Wauw! Thanks!

You're very welcome. Good luck!

thanks ! :-)

Thanks for your honest and clear comment!

The reason I started this design is because a 16 old boy with learning disabilty wanted to make a wooden nativity group, and i could not find a suitable example.

You have a keen eye! Alas he just missed the olympics ;-)

As I wrote in the last sentence of the instructable: On the down side: you cannot adjust the the shade any more. When the showcase is removed they can be opened e.g. to clean the window, but that takes effort.
