Melaine9, you can call me Julie. When I first joined the forum many moons ago, before we opened the business that s what I registered under.

Yes, I would sculpt the nose from foam, either a couple of layers of 1' foam or L200 if you want a firmer shape. 

You can also try using 1" foam on the root do pattern, but keep in mind the 1" will restricted the moth movement since the head shape is all one piece, but you can cut the corners of the jaw away from the head to make a separate jaw.

Let me know how you like he flesh Antron.

I just point out to everyone that while you can not change the username you log in with you can change the name that is displayed on your post and Profile. In fact I think it is a good thing not to have your username showing. Smiley  Just go to your profile and click on "Account Related Settings". You'll see the spot for Name where you can change it.

When I altered one of the project puppet patterns to give one of my characters a bit of an overbite I simply altered the size of my 2 mouthplate pieces. I made the top one a little bit longer and shortened the bottom one by the same amount. So when I had the finished mouthplate it sort of forced a bit of an overbite. You could accomplish a similar result by doing the reverse and making the lower mouthplate piece longer. Then you could add some foam inside the lower jaw to make it a bit stronger.

Welcome to Puppets and Stuff and best of luck in your building!

Thanks again everyone. I cut my mouth plate foam regular size. I had gone to Dollartree and bought 6 carwash sponges that were covered with the micro chenille. I cut the fabric from the sponge and  aquired 6 nice peices of reticulated foam. LOL. So to mack a long story short I cut one foam peice in the shape of the lower mouth peice notched out a place for my thumb and glued it to the original foam mouth peice, Wala! Nice large chin.

I love the Antron fleece Julie. Thanks.
