DIY Toy Design

Toy Design as a Hobby

I've always been interested in vinyl and art toys, which I enjoy collecting and creating. Using accessible technologies like 3D printing and airbrushing, I have made a few custom pieces myself as an exercise in toy design and modeling practice. below are some of the pieces I have designed, created, and given away.

Tim Hortons Cup Dunny

A custom dunny to resemble a Tim Hortons Cup. Custom lid component 3D printed in resin. Airbrush painted with hand-detailing. Originally made for my client at Tim Hortons, When I was freelancing prior to my full-time tenure there.

Canadian Tire Man
