talking about a guy that takes critisism well...
holy WOW. thats un-be-frickin-lievable.
way to go brother, you listened thought about it and retooled it to seemingly near perfection.
if you could make a flexible rubber head off of this for a puppet, you may take the RPF coolest prop ever award.
seriously its comming along fantastically... :thumbsup :thumbsup

Hi Gino,
Yeah I'll sort out a few comparrisions...
Your pics were really helpful for back and side detailing and have proved very useful for a numer of points on the project... but the geometery is a bit different between the screen puppet and the exhibition statue, according to the chap who actually built up the original puppet, Nick Maley.
This is particularly noticable around mouth area and the nose... the upper lip has receded on the exhibiton statue and the nose looks stretched out and pushed out at a funny angle. The Exhibition statue has also had restoration work done on it and has been coated in something to keep it from rotting. I'm told by Nick that the ears are not original... they were specially made for this display as the screen molds for them were destroyed.
Cheers
Cyb.

I would say that because the puppet is made in foam latex and is attached to a chest housing via studs it has stretched around the neck area and chin as Oz pointed the face upwards.... The way I've sculpted my head is for it to look naturally level or straight ahead. I've only pointed it up in photoshop to try and match the angle of the puppet... thats not the way its been sculpted to look (i.e. look upwards). This all affects the geometery.
Also note that the mouth is closed more on my sculpt that affects the comparrision.
The main things I can see that are wrong that I'm going to correct are a few of the details or wrinkles, which are to strong and need to be made subtler... The ears a bit to heavy at the back....

PS... Heres the new hands molded... Mine are the ones on the right... The left are the exhibtion hands and the bottom are the glove hands used for the screen puppet
