Harryhausen Cyclops stop-motion puppet replica

[Tsophika]

He looks incredible!

Every time I pop in this thread it takes me back to my experimental animation classes in college. We never came up with anything nearly as polished, but very fun times were had!

[IEDBOUNTYHUNTER]

Looks awesome, still drooling over the Taun taun, too.

 

[FANTAMATION]

Thanks guys, new update pics coming either tonight or tomorrow night showing the lower half blocked out.
Wolfie, I've had the privilege of meeting and talking with Ray many times and I've never met a more kind, generous and humble person!
IEDBOUNTYHUNTER, if you haven't yet check out what I'm doing with the Tauntaun now on my other thread - ESB additional animation.

 

[FANTAMATION]

Ok here he is with the lower half mostly blocked out, still have a bit more refining to do before I start adding some detail but at least he's starting to take shape...... stay tuned

Awesome! Every time I visit this thread I look down after awhile and find myself standing in a puddle of drool...

 

[MoviePropCollector]

Any news on this?

Would love to own one.

 

[FANTAMATION]

I know it's been awhile, there's a lot going on during this holiday month plus my usual commission work, but I finally found some time to squeak in getting the hands on the Cyclops. This now completes the overall basic blocking and now all that is left to do is the fun part....... finishing the detailing! I'll take better pics as I go along completing detailing sections, but for now here's the completed "blocked out" Cyclops

Don't worry Guy, the Tauntaun animation sequence is also progressing, I'll have an update on that later this week...... just been waiting on that Wampa armature and my machinist said yesterday that it's done and in the mail!!

Managed to get in some last minute detail work done before the holiday commitments commence, Happy Holidays everybody!!

 

[Scott Graham]

That's stunning! Perfect in every way.

 

[Nial]

Wow! I am still kinda new here and have only come across this thread now. This is truly amazing. Like many i loved Ray's creatures and films as a kid (and adult=D) and to see this is mind blowing.
Can't wait to see it progress. Very very well done.

Looks like that brass rod is in an uncomfortable place

Merry Christmas!

 

[Ghost Host]

Yea, your work is outstanding! I'm impressed with your armature, too. You've inspired me to finish my 19" cyclops!

Merry Christmas.
