I’m so excited that the Puppy’s Cozy Villa from last month’s leaderboard arrived today!

But I’m not quite ready to make this one yet. I have plans to paint the puppies to look like my three that have passed away, and I don’t feel quite ready to look at the pictures to get the likenesses right.

But they are the perfect characters for my dogs.

This one is like Lucy, who was always a runner :sweat_smile:

This one is like Daisy, who loved to have her tummy rubbed:

And my sweet, sensitive, soulful little Teddy, who passed away this year, is captured by the sweet dog gazing out at the world:

So, you can see that I have some thinking to do about matching their colours without removing the delicate expressiveness of the original puppies. But this is my plan. For when I’m ready.

Love your plan. I have 3 dogs as well, and I love them to bits … no matter how clingy or naughty they get :dog_face::dog_face::dog_face:

Oh no! So sorry to hear about the passing of your fur babies. I watch one who looks so much like your Daisy…and her name is Daisy Mae.:smiling_face_with_three_hearts: Congratulations on your prize.

I love your idea. It will be such a touching tribute to your furbabies. I am sorry for your loss.

If you got yours then mine cannot be far away. I am looking for suitable puppers to 3D print to replace the 2D ones. They are cute, but a little too ‘young’ for my tastes.

Dogs are so special. Now I’ve forgotten how naughty these three could be, and only remember the precious times :face_holding_back_tears:

Thank you so much for your kind sympathy. When I first met my Daisy, her name was TInkerbell, but she was always meant to be Daisy. Now I realise from your Daisy Mae that Daisy dogs must have a certain look to them!

Thank you so much. As soon as I saw that that was the kit we had won, I could see them so clearly. Yes, I had the same thought that they’re very much puppies here - mine all made it past 15, so I do think of them as being mature dogs. I hope that you find what you’re looking for - getting 3D dogs might overcome the challenges in losing their form lines with painting. Although I do have some neglected fineliners that could help me recover those…

Thank you so much :folded_hands: I was inspired by one of our community members who did something similar but with a 3D model for their dog, and I thought that was just so beautiful.

This seems like a lovely way to remember your dogs. I love my dog Roxie and this kit really reminds me of her. She loves sleeping near me while I’m building.

That’s great! But I like to see people’s kits arriving, and hear about what they plan to do with them. It’s like chatting with friends, you can chat with us about your plans :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

I’m so excited, and planning carefully. And now waiting for the kits I will customise to arrive… that will be my first priority.

Thank you so much, I hope so :face_holding_back_tears:
