I just love that stuff, it's so versatile....his hat is just a cone of paper.

His house sits on a half polystyrene ball covered with map paper (I'm sticking everything on these at the moment...it makes a change from wheels!)

A bit of German scrap and a stamped tape measure finishes the base... which is an empty ribbon reel.
Hope you like it.
