Who says these little guys can’t be Space Rangers? I like the way this one turned out.

Buzz 036 – Construction Paper Buzz
This Buzz was created with marbleized construction paper… kind of on accident. I meant to buy the regular kind… but somehow came home with this pearly stuff. Color selection was limited so I cheated a bit. The black parts are red paper with black marker… and the eyes and smile (white) are card stock.
The entire buzz was created with nothing but the paper, rubber cement and a pair of scissors. No drawing, sketching, planning of any kind. I watched Swamp Thing while I put him together (extra trivia).

Buzz 035 – Mighty Mugg Buzz Plan
I have my blank Mighty Mugg ready to paint. First I needed a plan… I have that now. Next I need about 10 bucks worth of craft paint, brushes, primer and sealer. I should have the real thing painted… right after I get the papercraft Buzz done.

Buzz 034 – Skittles Buzz
We’re potty training our 2 year old son. He gets a Skittle every time he pees in the potty so we’ve got this huge bag of Skittles laying around. It occurred to me that there were probably enough different colors in there to fashion some kind of Buzz image. I was right. If you’re having troubles making him out (he’s kind of low-rez) maybe the picture below will help.

Buzz 033 – Steampunk Buzz
This piece was a blast to do. This is Buzz as only a Steampunker would imagine him to be. Note the airtight barrel, wrist-mounted ray gun, dual-exhaust steam-powered propulsion system, classic collapsible wings and four wheels for high-speed landings.
This Buzz says, “I am Sir Buford Lightfoot, a ranger of the spaces beyond or own. I plan to keep the universe safe from any threats of invasion.”
Buzz 032 – Perler Bead Buzz
I got interested in creating things with Perler Beads once I saw that folks were using them to recreate 8-bit sprites from old video games. Perler beads are little plastic beads that you place on a spiked mat. When you get them arranged the way you want you fuse them together by melting them a bit with an iron. They end up looking a lot like pixels.
I created the pattern in Photoshop using a 29×58 pixel canvas. Then using two 29×29 pin tiles, I put him together… twice. I spilled him all over my lap on my first attempt at making it to the iron. I’ve included the pattern below if anyone out there wants to make their own.

Buzz 031 – Puppet Buzz
I created this puppet with tongue depressors, card stock and a rubber band. I put him together the same way I did my first puppet. You can’t really tell it’s a working puppet from a photograph, so I’ve embedded a short video below so you can see him in action.
This Buzz says, “I’m Buzz Lightyear, SPACE PUPPET. Universe Protection Unit.”
Buzz 030 – Bugs Lightyear
Buzz Lightyear… Bugs Lightyear. It’s a pun, get it?
This Buzz says, “Buzzzzzzzzzzz!!!”
Buzz 029 – The Chestplate
I love the chestplate that Buzz wears. The multiple buttons, the shape of it, the purple straps that apparently hold it on, even the little yellow name tag. But my favorite part is the spaceship-planet-wings logo backed by blue right in the center. I suppose it’s the logo of the Space Ranger Corps.
As an added bonus, this is a Buzz Lightyear Wallpaper. Click here to make it big then right click and set as desktop.

Buzz 028 – Fun Felt Foot
It’s another round with the Fun Felt App for the iPad. I’ve always liked the shape and colors in Buzz’s feet. I also like his shoulders and elbows… but that’s another post I’m sure.
