At last, a new post!

Blimey, it's been a while, but hopefully this will mark the start of a new burst of activity...

I'm working on a new project which involves making stopmotion animation puppets of members of the Coalition Cabinet. First up, everyone's favourite Child Catcher Lookalike Secretary of State for Education, little Michael Gove!

The sculpture is made from plasticine, and from that a plaster mould will be made and a latex skin will be cast, have a simple armature fitted and then be filled with polyurethane foam - in essence, it's like a miniature version of the Nick Griffin head but with an armature.

Here's the sculpt:



When the actual animation puppet is made, I'll post progress over on the McTodd Animates! blog.

Next up: Vince Cable!
