Hey William,

Glad to see you posting again. Great worm puppet. This is quite simply why you are one of my favourite builders. Beautiful.

WOW! Thanks Blink! I know I have been away for awhile, I was animating on a project and that took a lot of my time. It was one of those Drink mountain dew and stay up half the night kinda gigs. I am glad to be back!

BibleBetty, you asked, "where did you learn how to make him or use latex.".

I have been sculpting for about 20 years, on and off. I developed my own techniques to my sculpting as well as borrowing others. Belive it or not, this guy was mostly textured with a sharp pencil. I will post tutorials on how to make the molds and cast in latex if desired, just let me know. Most of my mechs come from me spending time with my father and his crazy and wonderous mechanicle ideas. I will also post how I make the eye lids for this guy using a bread pan as a vacumme forming machine. A very inexpensive way to vacumme form.

Feel free to ask any questions you like, I will do my best to answer them.

Cheers,

William
