I've finished my Caprica Six puppet!

[mrhogg]

Hey all,

So after *much* work, I've got my Caprica Six puppet finished! (well, I need to give her a couple more finger nails, but aside from that she's done) She turned out pretty well, though I'm not as happy about her face as I'd like to be. The first iteration of the lips were not right, but in the last picture or two in the set you can see that I've upgraded them substantially.

What do you think?

Wow, she's done! I especially like the body. And who knew you could sew such nice dresses?

Wow she has firm breasts!

Erm... What is this puppet? Could ya please describe? Thanks.

Thanks re the body and the dress; I didn't know I could make this nice a dress, either. I may have to use my wife as a test for future dress building ...

The Count, this is one of the Battlestar Galactica puppets I'm building. Why I'm building it is something of a long story, but it's a puppet version of Caprica Six, played by Tricia Helfer. I'm building more, as well (Tigh, Tyrol, and Boomer) as well as some of the robot cylons (which I'm going to have to learn vacuum-forming to make).

Oh, okay. I'm not familiar with BSG, but thanks for explaining.

Hey all,

For those of you who might be interested in looking at the process in even greater detail, I've started posting the making-of videos for Caprica Six here:
