Can you please explain the last joke you made that you're sure no one got? (lemmy.world)

We all make jokes that don't land, but sometimes we make jokes that should've been funny if anyone understood it.

Maybe it was too subtle, or too nuanced like a joke based off work-jargon.

Whatever it was, what joke did you say that should've had people in stitches but... didn't land?

Now is your time!

Btw, your figurines, and the framing/setting of the picture, are pretty rad.

So you make these as a hobby?

Are all of the models you make similar characters just in different settings/outfits/poses?

What kind of printer do you use?

Thank you. I do photography occasionally as a hobby. Tho I did use my phone. I manipulated the lighting to force the phone camera to open up the aperture, which makes the depth of field shallow. Which makes the background blurry.

It's easy to do in a dslr. But you have to trick a phone camera to do it. Via Low lighting.

Also yes I'm just a hobbyist. And there are two of these models. Sitting and standing. They are based on vintage Japanese Xmas decorations called "snow baby".

They are rare and expensive. Made in the 60s.

I wanted to make my own.

I also make other little characters/dolls and other random stuff.

I like vintage kitchy stuff.

My last big project was designing a working cat clock with tail and eyes that move. Based on kit cat clocks. But different enough they can't sue me. 😅

All my models are free.

But as for the snow babies. Ive made like 30 of them. I have friends, relatives, and people from online groups who want some. So I've been making a ton.

There are some on my Instagram but I have way more.

Also a model for the brick and Molotov on there.

Do you do 3d printing ?
