A new doodad


Occasionally I'll design some kind of gizmo to accomplish some wild scheme.  Here's an example that seemed to work.  I wanted to mount the eyes separately without an eye tray.  The first time I tried it, I found myself wishing I had some kind of thingy that would mount to the top of the head.  So I drew up the doohicky you see here and Buzz James at Braylu Creations cast the part for me. 

I drilled a hole in the whatchamacallit so I could screw the bolt into it.  The ridges at the top of the gadget provide a ledge for the Magic-Sculpt to latch onto.

The improvements I might suggest to my own design are:
- Make it round instead of square. 
- Make it longer so it requires less Magic-Sculpt.

Any other suggestions?
