This is a figurine of Rodger from Dandy's World I made for one of my granddaughters. I recommend printing all parts at 135% scale (about 11-1/2" tall figurine) to make the iris more sturdy. See the images for preferred print orientation INCLUDING THIN OBJECTS BEING ALIGNED IN THE BED TRAVEL DIRECTION TO REDUCE PRINTING FORCES. On the cover photo, you can see the quality difference that the preferred printing orientations can provide, even at enlarged sizes.
No painting is required, if you print in the batches as defined.
Most pieces are glued together with the exception of the Rodger's blazer. To assemble the body and blazer, I recommend:
1) glue pants to torso, making sure the toes point in the same direction as the two plugs on the torso with which the necktie is attached.
2) insert the assembled pants and torso into the top of the blazer. The blazer is held on by spring tension, so carefully flex the blazer open as you slide the torso/pants subassembly into it. It's a tight fit, but I have not broken a blazer yet.
3) the eyeball is printed in two pieces to reduce glue extruding between it and the head (magnifying glass frame). Insert the side, with the cavity for the iris, into the head, being careful to orient the iris and handle in the directions shown in the images. Sparingly, put glue where the back side of the eye meets the head. Then, insert the other half of the eye with glue only on the flat face, pressing it into the other half eye's flat face.
4) some of the builds have different support types for different parts of the game build. See images for details.
5) the iris is somewhat fragile, so be careful when removing supports. However, even if it breaks, once inserted and glued into the eyeball, you won't be able to tell it broke.

Model color scheme:

Black parts: blazer, both arms, lens insert (iris)

Blue parts: handle-mid, necktie

Grey parts: Head (magnifying glass frame), handle-end, both hands, pants. (mirror one hand to make the other)
