I was admiring the blue robot and then I noticed that there is no estimate for height. I’m wanting to makes some figurines or animals, 4 to 5 inches tall. I want to be able to mail them for some gifts. I’ ve noticed this seems to be a common practice. I’ve already made a hugh frog and and a medium size stuffed frog. Any ideas or suggestions? Love your site and work!! Carol Moger
This robot is about a foot tall with the legs and antenna. I meant to add that to the pattern. So sorry!
