Monkey Island Feral Chicken Fridge Magnets

Monkey Island series is the best adventure game I had the opportunity to play. In the third part "Curse of the Monkey Island" Guybrush lands on an island named Plunder where he finds some Feral Chicken.
Some time back I had the opportunity to make fridge magnets that looked like those chicken. Now I'm about to make some more of them and I thought that I can make a tutorial showing how to make them by yourself.

What You Will Need and Step 1

What you will need:

Tools:
  • Scroll saw (in my case Proxxon DSH)
  • Hot glue gun
Materials:
  • Wood (in my case it was oak plywood)
  • Grey undercoad paint (in my case it was Montana spray, color Mouse)
  • Paints: (in my case it was Revell paints)
  • White (Revell number 301)
  • Red (Revell number 330)
  • Black (Revell number 8)
  • Magnet
  • Glue stick
  • Hot-melt adhesive for glue gun
  • Masking tape
  • Sandpaper

Step 1:
Print the pattern (download the pattern here) and cut the wood to the dimension of the pattern.

Take two pieces of wood, place one on another like a sandwich and wrap it around with the masking tape.

Using a permanent marker with a large tip paint the contours. Next using a fine tip market correct the places that you were unable to get with the first marker and finish all of the lines inside the pattern.

Back side can be painted black but this is only an option. When the paint dries up lay the hot glue and place the magnet.
