Så efter mycket om och men var detta designen jag sorta utgick från när jag skulle göra min puppet. Satsningen var mest att kunna få den att gå, röra på öronen och munnen.
This will just be a really thought look-through of my puppet project progress! Lot's of P in there. So my basic was pretty much wood, because I wanted to get started directly and cheap brooms was abo
So yea, yaay wood skeleton, horrible decision but it still works and it's not as awful as it could have been. The feet is cut of plastic bycycle saddles. Really light weight, good stuff, cheap, cost m
Simple joints to start keeping the body from bending ways I don't want it to bend, so the movements becomes more natural. If it can't move in a way that a body normally can't move, that's good stuff.
This! is my favorite. It's the ear contraptions, it makes the ear perk forward on the head. On one ear, it's basically just two wooden circles, a small and a big, the small one is underneath to keep
The body, adding foam for "muscles" and restricting the hips.
More foam and toes added! The feet are on hinges.
The tail is just skipping roap and som folded and glue craft foam.
this be the body so far, the foam is soft upholstery foam and the harder stuff is hexatherm.
I made the head in a paper mock-up, then I drew up the patterns and cut them out.
Then I cut them out in plastazote.
And glued it all together in a foam 3-D version! I used impact contact adhesive which is made to glue this kinda stuff.
The body and head so far.
The cheeks are the same thing, just 0.5 mm thicker and happens to be in a different colour.
Ear mock-ups in paper. I also added these to test the movement of the ears.
This is the jaw, it's just a wooden plate on a hinge, kept up by an elastic band that goes through it and over a middel part on the platform in the head. As you can see in the picture.
When you pull the rope it opens. Almost like magic. Except it isn't.
Hands! All plastazote, all moveable, loose joints and some string, they are naturally bent and when you pull they stretch out.
The body and the rest so far.
Me testing out some early walking.
The body is starting to get some "muscles" with more plastazote.
These, are what goes on the wooden pieces in the head, and is what the ears are attached to before they poke out of the foam head.
And this is the jaw, the skipping rope is the neck, for maximum movement there is only this rope connecting the head and the body, with some fur around it later. This means I need to at all times have
This is how the ear contraption looks without the ears on, on the inside.
