Timmy is one of the many characters in the Shaun the Sheep tv series. This build is created by connecting sets of ball joints together to create a posable sheep.
I bought this kit in an auction containing several kits that didn’t have boxes so I don’t have the box for this kit.
This build is broken up into 5 sections. There is the head, body, tail, arms, and teddy bear.
The head begins with a base layer of yellow and black bricks. I couldn’t build the head on my pad because the yellow brick on the base is off-center from the rest of the bricks. The head goes up in layers. It creates Timmy’s pacifier and the core of his head. Creating the eyes was a bit tricky because it’s putting round 1×1 into the socket of the ball joint. The eyes were super tight in this case. The last step is to build and add the ears via ball joints.
The body begins with a base layer of white bricks. The second layer includes the ball side of the joint for the base legs. From there, building the body is mostly building the outside of a sphere. The top of the sphere has the balls for the front legs and head.
The tail is very straightforward. It is 3 layers of white bricks.
The arms on the top and bottom of Timmy are slightly different. Both are chains of black ball joints with a hoof brick on the end.
Once you have built each section, you need to connect the arms, head, and tail to the body. Once you connect the head, the legs need to curl forward to hold the build-up.
In addition to the sheep, Timmy has a teddy bear. Overall, the teddy bear is pretty straightforward. The trickiest part is getting everything set in the right direction, but it was fairly clear overall.
Things I liked:
- I really like how posable the build is.
Things I didn’t like:
- I think the eyes would have been better if it had been a black socket with a colored eye instead of a white socket
