CUPID

Author: Rob Ives

Source: https://www.robives.com/product/laser-cut-cupid-instructions-and-parts/

The latest automata in my series of paper automatas. (Unfinished yet) I cut the pieces by hand scalpel (no laser cut) My inspiration was the build by michael42er

:

I but retained the original design. On the parts I used putty, grinded and sprayed with paint...The automata is not yet complete.

Laser cut is great, but you can cut as accurately if you are careful, as you have shown. Great job!!

That's really neat!! I like cats, and boats, and the sea, what's not to like!!

:Bravo::Bravo::Bravo:

Mike, I'm s sorry I totally missed your fantastic Cupido. It is one of the loveliest things I have seen. It would make a great present for Valentine's day.

The cat sailor is awesome and it's really funny to see how he tries to fight the somewhat rough sea!

...thanks to all of you

if you can, rather use laser cut at CUPID, you will have it easier

I actually have the SVG of this file ..and all set up to be cut from the Cameo..made one awhile back and stacked the cuts into a laminate! It is so well designed ( bar the face) that it will work out of cardboard ( like you said ( cut carefully )

Always Love to see something from you! I never know what it will be next and am never disappointed! Thank-You! You make card-modeling a joy!

Thank you, these are nice words.

They're also better modelers, but I'm trying to make my models interesting even though they're easier ...
I also do photos, videos, animations ... if it catches at least 1 kid who will glued something and will not sit still on his mobile, tablet, PC... I will be happy
