StopmoNick replied to Idan Avnon's discussion Hey! so.. iv'e got a question about a puppet i'm trying to make for a big project :D"To make thin tubular legs, I think I would wrap the armature wire in thin foam bandage underwrap. Then I would find some thin striped stretch fabric and sew it into a thin tube on the sewing machine. Then Turn it inside out (there is a tool made for…"
StopmoNick replied to Ibrahim Ali Albuainain's discussion Airbrush Machine"I use a Paasche Model H airbrush for painting my puppets and models. You can take out the nozzle parts for cleaning.

Beyond Craft replied to Idan Avnon's discussion Hey! so.. iv'e got a question about a puppet i'm trying to make for a big project :D"Like the good Strider suggested , if you're after a "rubbery-plastic" look, I'd use dipping latex. You'll have to have a steady hand to paint the black stripes on, though. Wrapping the wire in athletic wrap will help it…"
Strider replied to Idan Avnon's discussion Hey! so.. iv'e got a question about a puppet i'm trying to make for a big project :D"Just saw your post about the head:
