Jabberwocky:
The sculpture for the Old Soldier. I used the ball and socket armature that will be used in the finished puppet to model over, this ensures that the armature will fit the mould when it comes to casting the puppet in foam rubber. The old soldier character will stay sitting through out the whole piece, so we decided that only the top half of the puppet will have a ball and socket armature, so for the purposed of sculpting i made some very basic wire legs and feet, I then wrapped the whole armature in clingfilm - so the Plasticine didn't get stuck to/in the armature. Then I sculpted this....
The hands were altered and made larger before the moulds were made.
The head was based on designs by Rob Millard, who also sculpted the other soldier.
