First i have to say i may have put too much time into him but i cant do something half way
Made him 15:1 scale. did have to change some numbers dont know where i got some of them from
lost an eye in the wind at the park on my sons 3rd birthday party, so i promptly pulled out a sharpie and made him a pirate

Very cool. You have inspired me to craft my own pinata at my boy's next birthday.

its tricky, the arms and legs broke apart with no problem but the chest idk if it was too stuff with candy but it didnt want to break so when the kids weren't looking after hitting it 30 or so times i took my knife to the tape. part of my problem also i wires the legs to wire coming out of his head so the legs couldnt fall off next time i might make it so it breaks

It's difficult to know just how much you don't know until you know it.
In other words... if people learn by making mistakes, by now I should know just about everything!!!

thanks, it was kind of stressful as much time i put into him trying to get him right, from the bend in the arms to trying to make it to scale. if you notice the picture of him done but not dressed hes holding a couple stress relievers. needless to say we had him covered in them by time we call it a night.

ok so the tradition continues (minus one year) i wanted to do a truck and thought it would be really cool to make my crew cab and maybe 38s or something on it. but then i thought about how sacrilegious it would be to have kids demolish a chevy so i turned it in to bigfoot.

so i had already measured out my crew cab so i just went with those minus the back door and the scale is 1:8.25
heres the body i made it one piece without the base to add some structure to it
as you can see the tires turned out to be 8" tall and 4" wide

the whole truck was about 2' long 9" wide
taking the first hit
he didnt break anything on the first hit but a few hits later and she started to come apart. there was about 10 lbs of candy in it with room to spare. we messed up the batting order cause about half way was one of the older boys and he just killed it
