As a child (7 year old) I started to develop my own toys. I made them from cardboard and glue. They look very well and are fully articulated as any average GI JOE.
I post some pics. Hope you like them.
This is the first one I ever made. I was seven.
This ones are from the time i liked Saint Seiya.
The next is wolverine from X-MEN. It has a broken arm, I should fix it.
These are the last ones I ever made. I was 12 at the time.
I would like to know if anybody has done something similar or has similar interests.
Sorry for the thumbnails, here is the first one
and the last one
I made the characters from "Mafalda" when I was about 10 years old, with modeling dough. There are only two left (Mafalda and Guille), my mom keeps them in the freezer. I would take pictures of them but my camera doesn't work
. I also made some trolls, but there's only one left and I lost his head D:
...I still can't believe that's not wooden or plastic.
I also like to do plasticine characters.
As a child I spent days molding plasticine dolls and then making frame by frame movies.
Recently I had the time to do it once again and I was just so happy. I would like to show you some of this work. But i need to rip a dvd first...
I made a huge board game at 5th grade at home, of play-doh. Made my own play-doh fantasy world which I made into a kind of Pokemon game just that I moved the characters and monsters around and their placement was important, I wish I still held onto that and evolved it futher.

Wow!
Excellent... puts my string puppets that I made at 12 look like what they were - total rubbish! (I mean I threw them away they were so bad) I had fun making them though!

I used to try ambitious projects like the above, all the time, but could never finish them because of my awareness that my cognitive abilities are substandard.
I've been actively self-loathing for 10 years about "not having the tools to succeed in the fast lane." My executive dysfunction is profound and my intellect is lacking, so what you have is s**t.
One problem I have is with the irony exhibited by gifted NTs.. these are folks who switch from task to task effortlessly, all day (witness today's college students) and expect everyone else should be able to do the same.
That kind of attitude doesn't sound "special" to me; that sounds pathetic.
They just don't understand that everybody is not the same as them. A lot of it is due to being young and inexperienced...
As a child, I made a lot of models out of plasticine, bits of cardboard, cotton reels (they were wooden), clothes pegs and plastic blocks (not all at the same time). Later on, I sewed a lot of toys and also began knitting and crocheting. I don't have many of them left now and wish I had kept more. Space became a bit of an issue at various times.
