Yep. I plan to make it semi-functional, in that it'll point north, but the Fleur de leis won't mark north, if that makes sense.
I could maybe make an extra, or do a tutorial for you, if you'd like. From what I've gathered thus far, it shouldn't be too difficult, but I'll hold my breath until I've finished it. I've learned that one the hard way. :P
Is the toy proper size, or is it rather large? I looked at it at Wal*Mart, and thought it looked a tad large, but I couldn't really tell. It looked too thick, from what I saw.
My actual in progress list at the moment is rather small, all things considered. It's what's waiting in the wings that has me worried.
In progress, I only have a few things, like a proton pack from Ghostbusters, and the timers from Sliders.
