Create - update 2: Mold making and foam cutting

I'm wearing band-aids on my thumb and index finger, due to all the contestant cutting and sculpting foam I have been doing with my 4 different scissors. It is intense...

But first! Before the foam-fest, I made the Create boy's head. Super Sculpey sculpt, baked, silicon mold, resin casting, sanding, and drilling.






Now with plenty of heads, back to the body!




The bodies are really taking shape now. Next step is adding the liquid latex skin! Oh, and clothes. He'll be needing those.

  3. Really nice puppet build-up! I'm curious about that padding material myself. Some sort of craft foam scissored down? Anyways, great post!

  4. Vincent - Thanks! You can kind of read the label of the silicone tub and blue bottle, I don't remember the specific type, though. And yes, Rubber cement works perfect to glue on the foam.

    Jon - It's Foam Rubber sheets, you can just get it on Amazon.com from a company call "Du-Bro. I used mostly the 1/4th inch. It's nice foam for puppets.
