  The Tick: Little Wooden Boy
The Tick: Little Wooden Boy



For those of you that didn't see the episode "Little Wooden Boy and the Belly of Love", The Tick (a large, blue, strong but stupid and INSANE superhero) is upset that his sidekick Arthur wants to skip "Craft Night". Sulking in his apartment, the Tick sees "a little boy trapped in a block of wood"



After makings some measurements based on screen caps from the show, I cut the parts from a pine 2x4.



The arms were cut from pine, using staples and eye screws to attach them to the body.



The gouge was the hardest detail to reproduce as I had to interpret a drawing into 3 dimensions.



The face was painted on using red and black enamel paints. The "buttons" in the animation were hollow outlines which I interpreted as drill holes.



The arms are attached to the body with a staple and eye hook. The legs are attached with wood screws. The hole in the leg is significantly bigger than the screw to allow some side-to-side movement (presumably for martial arts moves). True to the Tick's craftsmanship, the legs are mounted asymmetrically.



Little Wooden Boy guards the city with an unwavering gaze! Beware naughty spawn! Little Wooden Boy is on the job!

These are all the dumb things I find myself obsessed with building when I SHOULD be doing something more productive.

As a kid I built lots of plastic model kits, never knowing that one day those skills would actually be of use.
