LOOEY'S 3D MAGIC: LIFTING THE LID ON MIKE HAZARD'S HAT

As you've seen, with my new kit, I made my own Mike Hazard hat!

I'm using my childhood toy memories to inspire my art toys and I'd already sculpted a spy hat for my own planned Bess Hazmaat Civil Servant figure. I'd managed to make a metal mould of the hat and cast it in soft vinyl, but the complexities of the actual figure had stumped me.

So I decided to 3D scan this hat, shrink it down and 3D print it out for Mike H!

It took a couple of attempts and two different sizes, but I finally got something I'm happy with. This new technology now allows me to recreate and restore old toys to an acceptable level.

Next up (sometime in the future) will be the scanning of the missing landing leg of my Dinky UFO Interceptor, so i can finally have the toy I never had as a kid, in proper WHITE livery!

Cheers,

Lewis
