So the first Sketchup model for the LEGO Monkey 🐒 is done; I say first because usually, I make some changes after a first test build (I say first because usually I have to test it again after changing... 😆)
Although it doesn't look *too* complex, looks may be deceiving. Things that might not look very difficult in a virtual 3D model, can be very tricky when you're trying to make them out of paper!
The "bevel" around the edges of the tail will take some patience to get shaped correctly because of its spiral shape, because paper naturally wants to "unfold/unroll" (pre-shaping properly will help a lot! 😉)
The head, although simplified a lot already, will also require a lot of care to get right in paper form; there are quite a few tricky shapes going in different directions that paper won't naturally want to follow...! 🐵
But we'll see how it goes, stay tuned!
