My partner and I cast our toy in resin in a container we made of acrylic. This involved ensuring the container was watertight, then pouring the resin in layers and letting each layer dry for 20-40 mins. We have not yet sliced the block, but took pictures of the toy for consistent front, sides, top, and bottom views in order to begin modelling. We then scaled these images to be the correct size.

After bringing the scaled image into Rhino, I made some rough frames of the general shapes based on the images’ dimensions. For the frame of the body, I drew two circles based on the collar and base dimensions, then separated them based on the height measured from the images. I then used the loft command to make the cone shape.
