Thanks Shawn!
I have fixed the problem and have also updated my site. Thanks for letting me know!
I am off to try another foam run.. I did one yesterday, but it too failed
Hopefully a good one today (?)

Like the new layout you have for the Progress page!   Good luck on today's foam run.

Hey There!
After 3 attempts - I finally got a good foam latex skin of the old man!!

Check it out at the top of this page! It is two different colors due to the different types of latex that were used - but once it is seamed and painted - it will look fine!
Next step is to seam, paint and get the animatronics worked out! Stay tuned!

AWESOME! Determination and hard work win again!

I am in love with that guy, he is great!

Looks good.  So is the line were the seam is in the mold?

Hey All!
Yes, the line that you see in the picture is the line from where the mold parts line up (this is a 4 part mold - front, sides/back, and the inner core).. No matter how careful you are or how good the mold is - there is always a seam line..
Removing those lines (technical term: seaming) involves cutting them away and then patching the area to make that line as invisible as possible.

Hey all!
It has been a long time since my last update.. I have been crazy busy with 'real work'.. Anyways - here is the latest on my old man character..
Since my last post, I have finished removing/repairing the seam lines.
In the latest pic - you will see that I have just finished applying the base coat of his paint job..

I hope to carry on with the paint job this weekend - I will keep you posted!
Later!

He is really turning out nicely! At first I thought he had slimmed up a bit then I read that he was distorted some because he was hanging up to dry.

Hey!
Here is some further painting on my old hobo character.. Just starting to 'flesh him out' a bit more.. Stay tuned!
