A Little Bit of Minecraft

We had a daughter's friend over for a day. He's really into Minecraft so I thought it would be fun to make him a little Minecrafty thing. I downloaded a papercraft print-out to put together. But knowing him, I wanted to make something he wouldn't squash or break right away. I got the idea to just cut a bunch of blocks and wrap them with the papercraft bits. Then I drilled some holes and cut some doweling for a better hold when gluing the joints. So here is the one they call Steve (next to Lego Batwoman for scale).

Joints don't move, though I initially wanted to, but the wood I used was a little soft and the hole not big enough for the doweling and I was afraid of splitting it, so I just glued it all.
