Making My Puppets

I got Louis Ralph to help me design my characters for my character interaction piece. I then built them. Here is how I did it.

I started by building some wire armatures with shrink rap to strengthen the joints and K and S for the bones. I made all the limbs, head and body sections replaceable in-case of any breakages. I also made a rigging point in each armature in case there was any problem with them standing or moving on their feet.

I then padded the armatures out with Miliput, hard blue foam and soft foam. I also made the balsa wood cores for the heads.

I made hands from layers of funky foam.

I then sculpted the heads with Super Sculpy.
