My Yoda 1:1 Puppet ESB

[paplooo]

HI guys ID like to show you my Long go proyect

Ive got long time ago... A cast of the Yoda exhibition Stand in , was in a bad condition so I re sculpted mostly all the Top of the head ..ears and back of the head
Left it for a few years, in there doing nothing.. then I gave it to a friend so he can finished .. and tuning.. specially the top lip

after my friend told me he finished his puppet, he sent me a copy of the final sculpt ..

I re casted again an re sculpt some stuff cos I need to take the ears off to make molds etc etc..
ANd then I sculpted hands and feet.

Im a one man band .i don't have 3 more people to move the stuff... so I've made all the stuff inside to move ears, eyes, and eyelids

Im working on my V3 at the moment basically to improve the mechanism inside and also trying to make a "rig " to attach right hand with the cane gimer stick to my body

SO I can control the puppet with my right hand.. and use my left hand to control his left hand.

Thanks !

Maybe a string between the 2 ears you can pull with your thumb while puppeting?

WOW amazing! Did you use laytex or foam or silicone? Been wanting to do one with maybe silicone or TPU 3d printing. Did you have any good guides?

Latex, cos silicone whatever i painted does not look like the original... i cant do foam latex, but simple latex worked perfect for me.
