Still Shots

Progress 1

It has been a while since the last post but I have great news.. At last all of the physical work of the set is finished!

This is my room, I have purchased the lights and the 'green' screen, which is now purple because it is the only color not in my pallet. Lucky for me purple acetate is only $2 a yard :)

I used polymer clay for the feet, but because they had to be directly added to the puppet, I made a makeshift oven with a box and a hair dryer to 'bake' the clay. 15 minutes and they were solid..

Bridge is done

Agagagagaaahh I finished the bridge! It is very valuable to me now, I was a bit over the top with the amount of work and $$ I put into it, but it is all worth it.
I used peg joinery for the large structural parts, carved square holes for the fence, added angular supports along the posts, and hid a steel plate under the floor boards for the magnetic feet.
The paint job included spray painting a base turquoise, and topping it off with a wash stain of black and metallic bronze.
