THE BIG HEAD

Inital progress on big head #1 is encouraging - progress has been reasonably rapid. So far i've accomplished the following: sawed off the back of the skull, installed elastic cords in the jaw, and attached a cable to the jaw. This cable will then run to a bolt which will allow us to pull the cable incrementally by loosening or tightening it.

We tested out the good ol' Superflex Sculpy last night; we've determined that it will work. It is, for the unitiated, a modeling clay that is then baked hard - this particular type of Sculpy retains flexibility after baking, which is the key.

Now I have to tackle the eyes and eyelids. It is going to be hard. There will probably be swearing involved.

We should be doing a few little animation tests with the unfinished head reasonably soon - i'll post the results.
