Stekkjastaur - Icelandic Yule Lad Series

Icelandic Yule Lads – Low-Poly Collectible Series

Stekkjastaur - 1 of 13
English name: Sheep-cote Clod

This model is part of my 13-figure series inspired by the Icelandic Yule Lads, the mischievous brothers from Icelandic Christmas folklore.
Yule Lads begin their journey on the night of December 12th, arriving one by one until all thirteen have appeared. Thirteen days later, they depart in the same order.

Every character in this series is designed to capture their traditional personality, behavior, and charm.

The collection uses a clean geometric low-poly style with modular elements so no AMS is required to print these!

Every figure includes a base shaped after Iceland’s iconic stuðlaberg basalt columns, a natural feature deeply tied to the landscape and aesthetics of Iceland.

Due to the hexagon patterns on the bases, they can connect up in multiple ways and display beautifully as a complete set.

About This Lad

Name: Stekkjastaur
Arrival: December 12th
Departure: December 25th
Known for: Sneaking into sheepcotes and harassing the sheep, stiff-legged and awkward as he tries to get close to the animals.
Trait in this model:  Stekkjastaur carries a shepherd’s staff and stands by a small low-poly lamb, reflecting his connection to the sheepcote. He has a tall, rigid posture emphasizing his famously stiff legs and clumsy movements while keeping the clean low-poly aesthetic consistent with the full Yule Lads series.

Parts Included:

Hat

Head/Face

Eyes

Beard

Torso

Hands

Feet

Base

Connectors

Prop: Staff and lamb (3 separate pieces)

Assembly

For all Lads, the base will have corresponding base connector to connect to the feet.
The torso is then glued on top of the feet.
Next the large connector slides down the torso to allow for an easy assembly of the beard and head.
Eyes need to be glued on to the head, and then the hat is glued on the head as well.
All pieces are designed to easily glue together.

For Stekkjastaur, we have additionally the staff (which slots through the hand and into the base, and the sheep that has a dedicated space on the base as well.
