Copycat Comic

Details

I had been trying to think of something to make as a Mother's Day gift for several weeks, so, when I saw this "Copycat" image, illustrated by "Cryptid-Creations" (Piper Thibodeau), at DeviantArt, I instantly knew that I had finally found the right subject matter to model. If, like myself, you like cute drawings of word puns, then her work is definitely worth checking out!

Materials:
Newsprint, tissue paper, cardboard from a cereal box, white notebook paper, magazine paper, wire twist ties, acrylic paint, ink, white glue, super glue, fishing line, and transparent plastic from a memory card package (base only).

Dimensions:
[Excluding the base] 10.0 cm (3.9") wide x 3.0 cm (1.2") deep x 5.5 cm (2.2") high.

Time:
Two days; May 7th and 8th (2016).
I also attempted to fabricate the copy machine several days earlier, but I screwed something up when I was measuring and laying out the device on the flat cardboard, so, I gave up on that design and discarded it.
