To start with, in a £1 shop close by to me, I bought two mirrors. But they weren't just any old mirrors, they had ball and socket joints!!! I had seen tutorials on the internet using mirrors like these (the mirror isn't the important bit) to make rigs!!!
I bought them for a pound each, so they were easy to pull apart!!! I took off the mirrors and the blue bit on the other end, then it was just a simple task of putting the end of one into the other!! Wallah, a rig!! All I need to do now is find something heavy to way one end down.
Next I will tell you about my quest to try and make an animatable (is that a word??) skeleton, like the ones used in Jason and the Arganouts. I didn't base it on the ones in that great film, but refrence pictures from the net!
Here are the ribs I made from alliminium wire, for the armature.
Here is the main parts of the armature ready.
I gluegunned all the parts together, and added on the ribs, and here is the finished armature:
Unfortanutly when I added the clay ontop, it looked terrible, so this is all your getting for now, but some time in the future I might go back to the project.Next is the most awsomly awsome news in the world!!! My new puppet (and mascot for Morilyon productions) is a super hero called Morilyon man!! His armature was one of those shown two posts ago, and here I have some pictures of the proccess of making him.
Here is the armature and Epoxy putty feet with working tie-downs in the bottom.
Next comes the spare clay I don't want, this saves the new nice clay.
Next is the purple clay, just a thin layer of this should do the trick!
Now I add the boots, covering the feet too.
Now add final touches, and your done!!!
The finished model!!Fish
