Right?!? That's one of the many things I've been pondering while creating this guy...How does this guy and his kite carry a 2-ton safe back to their hideout?!?

Ah, such a simpler time of storytelling....

Kite detail

- Kite was made of a thin, pizza box (the box and the pizza were thin, come to think of it)
- I found some odds n ends hollow tubes for the kite frame
- used a long clear twist tie (that came with my Titan Metroplex) for the tail
- cut small triangles on tail out of same thin pizza box
- two, 3.78" zip ties to hold him
- hot glued the parts, painted and sealed

He may be leading the charge, but he'll be the first one downed!
