Minnie Mouse

Few silhouettes are as instantly legible as this one: round ears, a bow set between them, a flared polka-dot dress. The character has been an animation fixture for the best part of a century, and the appeal of a printed version is that the shape survives shrinking — you can read her from across a room without a single fine detail being spelled out. It is a display piece for collectors, and for parents building a shelf of familiar faces. The sort of model that ends up on a bookcase, a desk or the top of a child's chest of drawers rather than sealed away in a cabinet. Fourteen files make this a multi-part kit, so there is room to take your time over assembly and finishing instead of treating it as a quick novelty print and moving on.
