Different Idea

Well I am trying something new with my newest Ventriloquist Dummy Head, a "Sliding Jaw" I have attached a few pictures, and so far it seems to be working out very well. The jaw slides up and down to open and close, is very quiet and smooth. It took some work to create this operation, but that is half the fun. The eyes are not mounted inside yet, so they look a little off. I like the way the molded hair turned out. I had to reshape the neck and chin a bit, and build up around the sides of the mouth to close the gaps, and hide the side of the jaw when it slides open. The painted pictures at top show the results. So far so good. I still need a name. Anyway, enjoy the pics of a work in progress. MontanaDan

New Ventriloquist Dummy Head

I made a mold and mother-mold today, and cast two heads of my newest character.
I will probably take a break over Christmas, and I am waiting for some parts to arrive that I ordered from Braylu. I will most likely start on this fellow sometime next week. Now all I need is a name? MontanaDan

New Ventriloquist Character

Well I am in the process of making a New Ventriloquist Character. I am just about finished with the sculpture in clay, and about ready to make a new silicone mold.
This is my first attempt at a full size head, suitable for a larger body, 3T/4T.
I sculpted the eyebrows and the entire hair on the head. I think he will be easy to paint and put together, once I cast the head. Here are a few sneak peek Pics.

Ventriloquist Central

What Is Ventriloquist Central?

Its been awhile since I talked about Ventriloquist Central. Where you can find all kinds of interesting information about the art of Ventriloquism. If you interested in past and present ventriloquists or just interested in the art of ventriloquism itself, You need to check them out.

The website is the brain child of Dan Willinger. Dan has loved the art of ventriloquism and started collecting ventriloquist figures years ago. He wanted to create a website to share his collection of ventriloquist dummies with everyone.

Steve Hurst who Dan met through mutual friend, Ray Guyll. is the webmaster for Ventriloquist Central.

Launched in October of 2006, Ventriloquist Central has grown by leaps and bounds. With Dan’s tremendous amount of history and information... to the regular contributions from many ventriloquists, Ventriloquist Central will keep providing as much information as possible to the Ventriloquial Community.

Work In Progress

These pictures are of a Butler Head I am working on. The first picture is of the jaw piece, before and after. The jaw that comes with the head fits better if you cut off the back flush with the back of the chin. You will have more room for the mouth to freely open. The second picture is of the head with the original chin and mouth cut out on the right, and the jawpiece on the left. The other shows the jaw in place. MontanaDan
