And just like that... the Headcrab is done! I named him Eugene (let's see if you can guess why). This video was really the first proper test of the puppet; unsurprisingly, tested and filmed the night before its debut convention, Supanova Brisbane 2023. There's probably not too much to add...

I've made some strides in the time since the first post. Taking the articulated finger in the last post, I managed to - relatively easily - move the extension mechanism from the top of the finger to the bottom. Here's a rough diagram of how I planned things to get split: The model was split...

Heya RPF, been a while! I've become quite active on the 405th sister site and haven't been around here much lately. Anyway, time for the real meat of the thread. Over the last year or so, I've been getting quite involved in puppetry and mechanics - I did a Little Shop of Horrors production, a...

Coincidentally enough, Adam Kreutinger (The Puppet Nerd) recently released a video going over his processes so far for some Audrey II puppets. I've yet to finish it but interesting stuff so far! I was the prop coordinator for a small scale production of Little Shop last year. I didn't make the...

This is getting out of hand... now there are two cans to pick up! It's been amazing not only to follow the work of both of you CP's, but to see the two of you even come together!

This is looking incredible!

Absolutely georgous! I think a big part of its value is the journey; the time you put into it, and everything you learnt along the way.

That's what I had in mind, although I don't have a problem if you want to just add to your first post, but also replying to this thread summarising what's been done. It just helps us follow along and allows others to find your thread more easily

I was gonna say but I think others beat me to it! So instead I'll say

I think a big part of it comes down to uniqueness. The snub nose gun, for example, has what I'd consider a weird shape, and two triggers adds to that factor (I've only seen the film once so this is almost an outsider's opinion). This weird shape is what, to me, makes it recognisable. When I've...

Holy heck man, I had no idea you were updating this thread throughout the year! You should consider posting when you update it, that way we get notifications.

Some great info on this thread. I'm also working to get into the prop making industry. One very important thing I have learnt over the past couple of years is networking. Get to know local creatives (or industries) in your area. Jump online and join in with forums (you're here so a great...

This is AWESOME! Geez, now I'm dying to get back on the ride

I can't imagine how exciting it would have been to finally have a package like that arrive!
