Re: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles SLASH
I was a bit apprehensive about it but I cut and attached the pectorals, neck, clavicle bone, and Adam's apple using the super 77 spray adhesive. I didn't make a template. I just helped the foam up to the dummy and Drew out the shapes. After that I cut out the general shape with an inward cut. I kind of goofed because I did… -
Re: Extra Fine Bowden Cable?
Thanks Chris – Yes I've been using the Gold-N-Rod #577 (Veryflex), which seems to be the finest they make, and it works well for some things. Now I'm looking for something a little more robust if possible, and mainly that overcomes the length issue. It doesn't seem like Gold-N-Rod is available any longer than the 36"… -

Re: Which plaster should I use ? + mold advice
Is your sword removable ? That overhang will make it difficult to mold or cast. (not TOO difficult but if its removable its way easier. A sock mold , then casting in 57D or 45d from smooth on with urefill would result in a tough cast that has strength in the thin parts. Just my two cents. -

A Blue Plastic Head Block?
Although this topic isn't much of a high priority, it does raise the question of why is it blue in the ad when all you see online is Red Plastic Head Blocks? And before you ask, No this isn't a promotion or plug. I assure you I have no affiliation with the said store. I simply would like some form of resolve on this… -
The Fly
Hey all. Just thought I'd throw my hat into the ring. There are a ton of great costumes posted so far! This year I thought I'd do a variation of The Fly. I sculpted the head out of Monster Clay.
