Having done two fabric figures and two wooden figures, I decided it's time to try metal! Actually, Tik-Tok has fallen together more easily than I expected although I'll admit to cheating - he's brass, not copper. But with a little patina work, he's pretty convincing...
He's mostly made from a variety of lamp parts, along with some additional material. He has his winding key, and three winding spots - one under each arm and the middle of the back. Unfortunately, he doesn't actually wind up... Oh well - we'll have to call in Smith and Tinker for that!
Welcome to my blog, featuring various pieces from my collection of Oz books, artwork and memorabilia!

Great job, especially on the face!
Stunning. I want one.
That's one of the most remarkable things I've ever seen!
Thanks! - It'll be interesting when I get to the Tin Woodman, I think he may be a little slower to come together!
