I love Scrat from ice age...so I thought I would create one of his descendants.  I started with a home insulation base for the head and then finished it with paperclay.  The spring for the mouth is from home depot.  The rod is a piece of plumbing PVC.  The body is a normal "shell". The paws have magnets to hold the GIANT walnut.

I got a new airbrush so I tried it out on this little guy...I need practice...lol. 

Now Ive got to paint the nuts...

Later

I love him,Scrat is my favorite character in ice age..wonderful job!

Great job! I really like how you did the eyes.

Really cool! I want to get more into rod puppets, I guess just because the others have become so standard. This is just beautiful.

That is phenomenal! Love it! I had to read 'Now Ive got to paint the nuts' twice, just to make sure I understood what you meant.

Does his nose wiggle when he smells the nuts? He is very cool.

Thanks for the compliments! 

Boozeband...LOL!
