It was not easy to do it, the hardest part was the cleaning. When plastic gets hard, it takes quite a lot of patience to clean it and you have to be very careful not to cut yourself. He was painted with special paint, so the final result was good!

For the next model, we will try to do something more decorative or technical, but also easier to clean from all that plastic support. Do you guys have the same problem with all that support plastic, too? What do use to clean it? We used one thicker knife and pliers. Also, found it tricky, because you can break some thin/weak parts when removing support (like his legs and arms, in this case).
Hope you like it, thank you!
A friend of mine and I decided to print SpongeBob.
