Re: Making a mold of a polymer clay sculpture
Hi @conlevhof here's a great course that walks you through the steps for creating an animatronic puppet, from sculpting to molding, casting, and mechanizing.

As instructor David Monzingo does in the course, I would recommend that you go with a silicone skin for your alligator as it will move very well and look very realistic. Foam latex is also a great material but it will most likely bunch up and crease in a non-realistic way.

Re: Teeth and gum tutorial?
@Jeffrey Mahon The first few chapters of this course will be enormously helpful to you for tips on mounting teeth into your underskull: https://www.stanwinstonschool.com/tutorials/animatronic-character-creation-organic-mechanics-part-two
You'll also find some good tips in this course. Check out the chapters on creating teeth:

Re: Course progress displays not working
Thank you for the heads up @Darrell Green! We'll ask our web team to look into this issue.
Course progress displays not working
Recently my progress markers in several of the Pathways are no longer showing the blue in the circle for progress. Also the chapter progress link is missing. This link had led to a separate page that showed a blue dot for any chapters already completed in a specific course. Some pathways ask for Enrollment although already started or completed. Was there an update that has put my browser out of compatibility or is this a system wide issue with Pathways progress?
Re: Teeth and gum tutorial?
Thanks Darrell! Yes, watched those two courses. I'm new to all of this so trying to figure out how to apply those techniques to a thin fiberglass jaw.
Troll Sculpt with Monster Clay
Currently working on this Troll Mask, here is the finished sculpt
Plan is to have 2 different ones, a Snow Troll and a Forest Troll, both will have beards, bushy eyebrows and gnarly hair. I added a few small things for fun like the bones in the ears
