Well, I'm going to give my best try to pay tribute to the man who introduced me to the world of visual effects as a boy and inspired me (as well as MANY others) to not only choose this craft as a profession but to also make it my lifelong passion! I'm going to attempt to recreate one of my very favorite Harryhausen creatures, the 16" tall Cyclops stop-motion puppet from the 1958 classic "The 7th Voyage of Sinbad". There were 3 different versions of the Cyclops made for the film, the 16" puppet being the largest. I'll be starting with the skull sub-structure, sculpting it directly over the armatured skull assembly and then moving onto the rest of the armature. Progress will be a little slow on this project since most of my time is devoted to working on Kongs for clients, but whenever progress is made it'll be posted here right away.
