Alice in Wonderland's Mad Hatter – Head Sculpture

A sculpture of the iconic maniacal Mad Hatter as seen in my favorite Walt Disney classic animation: Alice in Wonderland! Growing up as a kid, Alice in Wonderland was my personal favorite Disney cartoon that I watched often with my sister.

This sculpture ended up being larger and more of a challenge than expected. I planned on making it about half the size as it currently is, to make a sort of bobble character. I kept on piling on pieces to the point of making the face and overall head very big. The first part I built was the bulk of the hat, which was rather difficult and uses an irregular building method of slopes and wedges chained together with hinges, in a SNOT (Studs Not On Top) pattern.

The mouth and face structure had a lot of revisions too, and the hair added a lot of extra weight which created some stability issues. The eyes were the last part built, and originally were much larger. If this model is chosen as a retail set, it'll most likely be streamlined with fewer parts.
