Note: If you want even more reinforcement along the joins, 2 Part Epoxy Putty can be mixed together (Ratio 1:1) and squished into the join and when it cures, (roughly 4 hour cure rime) it will be rock hard and it won't budge at all. There are a fair amount of joins to adhere so just take your time and be gentle during this process the last thing you want is to bond 2 edges which are out of line! Let the bond cure for another 10 seconds and you should now have a strong bond. For this, we will use the round tube Styrene and simply adhere a piece of the tube along the inside edge. When the initial bond has set, you need to adhere some reinforcement. The best way to get a 90 degree join is to place both pieces against an edge with a flat horizontal surface, and a 90 degree vertical wall and sparingly run a line of cement along the join of the plastic and hold the plastic in place for about 10 seconds. With your pieces, you can begin using polystyrene cement to bond the pieces together. Note:We only want to bond 5 pieces together at this stage, make sure that the pieces that have a hole are the ones that are glued last. Once all of your pieces are cut out and organised, you can start adhering the pieces, but beforehand, you may want to lightly sand the lines of each piece to ensure their flat just place the line of the piece on top of a sheet of 120 grit (or similar grit) sandpaper and lightly sand along the surface. Paints Skin, Blue, Purple, Brown, Grey, White (I'm using Citadel Acrylic paints for this) Measuring Equipment (right angles, protractors, etc.) Power drill with a drill bit equal to the plastic tube and spacer diameter (I chose 1/4' drill bit)

Polyurethane Rigid 2 Part Foam ( Aerosol expanding foam will also work for this, I just prefer using 2 part expanding foam)Ħ inches of 1/4' OD plastic tube and 1/4' ID spacer (You can use any thickness, but the tube and spacers must match Styrene Tubing or similar model making supports

Here are the following requirements needed for this build:Įvergreen Square Tile Styrene (This product is quite specific for this build as it provides the square grid which makes up the pixels, it's also a little pricey depending on what size grid you want)

If the scaling is wrong and you can provide evidence why, feel free to notify me. The total length of this model is 20.8cm long. The Styrene Square Tile size I'm using is 6.3mm (or 1/4') so the scale of this piece is about 1:9scale. Unfortunately, the legs are static, this is because a lot of visual accuracy would have to be sacrificed to make the legs move back and forth so instead, they are permanently fixed to the body at an upright position.īased off Minecraft measurements, Steve is 32 pixels high which makes him 1.875 metres long, meaning that 1 pixel is roughly 5.859cm long in the game.

The movement includes the Head being able to rotate a full 360 degree, and the arms can move back and forth on it's point at a full 360 degree. Other than that, it's a lot of fun to make! This model is fairly straight forward and is essentially just a bunch of geometric shapes, but because it's geometrical, measurements and angles need to be precise so keep that in mind. My little brother is a big fan of Minecraft and Christmas is coming up, so I thought instead of buying a Minecraft related present, why don't I make him a Minecraft gift? My answer was to make a model of Steve!
