Re: My life size General Grievous.(Complete head and neck finally finished!)
? and the rest? How will it stand by its own? :confused
Regards.
It will simply be an illusion.
I plan to build a skeleton/armature, probably out of PVC and heavy gauge wire or metal (maybe conduit) for easy breakdown so I can transport it to events, that will show Grievous in a "crouching/kneeling position", with him with his right knee and left foot on the ground (again, crouching/kneeling will mean that he takes up less room for travelling since he'll be much shorter in a crouched-down pose). There will be a "base" that the "skeleton" will attach to that will most likely be made out of wood.
I will attach the neck/head/collar, arm, and foot in their correct locations, and affix them to the "skeleton". Grievous will then be shrouded in his cape (which will be closed in the front, except for a slit on the right side so the arm can exit). The head will be visible, the right arm will be visible, and the left foot will be visible (he's on his right knee, remember). Since it will be obvious that he's kneeling, the observer will just assume that the right foot and left arm are concealed inside the cape. No one ever has to know that there's no body or complete set of appendages. :cool
This is probably confusing at this point, so here's an approximation of the "look" that I'm going for (center image). You'll notice that you don't need
all of the parts to have a Grievous!
I've also included pictures on either side of LFL artists' concept drawings showing Grievous with only 1 arm, and most of the rest of him obscured by the cape. THIS is he "look" that I'm going for.
I've been planning this for almost 2 years slowing collecting mini shock absorbers and other parts. These resin parts would greatly speed up my completion time. :thumbsup
