Selfie is uploading but here is some picture that really don’t do this puppet justice in the mean time. He has his gun now so look out. Next up is to do some tests later this week and see how much of a green screen nightmare this is going to be.
And yes the lovely “Earth Vs the Flying Saucers”( I know you see it in the background ) mold from Raul Quiles Jr. is talked about briefly and a full show of the model in this weeks weekly show.

Still there is a bit to do but nothing involved. Paint the eye lids. Add some steam stacks on the back pack.
Got back to working on the big E for the museum of science fiction we are at a point where I’ll need that internal armature. Lots more info in the SNG weekly video which will be available in the morning. Here’s a few pictures for now.

Today I tackled the helmet. How to do it and do it in one day? Simple. Some aluminium wire, bend a helmet shape around the head. Make a pattern and sculpt in clay the form in one half. Make an alginate mold. Pour it in Ultra Cal 30 and vacuum form it in clear. And that’s what I did. I just taped it together for a look. It needs a collar and interior brace and a few other things but it off to a good start. more next week.
