I've been working for the last 4 days on my second Custom Figure. Mr. Elkhorn has been alot of fun to create. I used the same head cast as I used for Oscar Orangeblossom. It is amazing how much different they look. I used a pair of eyes I ordered from Mike Brose, and I painted this one with a darker shade of flesh tone and decided to add a beard. Hope you enjoy the picture. MontanaDan.

Oscar Orangeblossom

Introducing Oscar Orangeblossom. Well my new Custom Puppet is complete. I named him Oscar Orangeblossom, and he is quite a character! My wife said that she can't believe how real he looks. I told her he is real, your not dreaming! go ahead and touch him. LOL. Then he grinned at her. Dan

Oscar Orangeblossom is just about ready to dance! This has been a very rewarding project, and alot of fun!. I have another head cast which I am going to start on this week. I will keep you posted of my progress. I still have a few minor tweaks to finish on Oscar, and a couple of places to touch up, but Oscar is just about done. Dan

Well, I decided to make the eyes for my new dummy, and I used wooden balls and printed out the iris on the computer. After I painted them I just needed to glue on the iris. They look pretty nice actually. I still need to center and install them but here is a picture of what they look like in my new custom figure. What a Blast!

Everything is coming along really good so far with my Custom Figure Project. I painted the Head and Jaw tonight, and I ordered the body from Braylu. I should have the eyes by next week, and I am currently working on the mechanics and headstick. Stay Tuned!

I just finished up with the inside of the mouth for my Custom Figure. The jaw piece is looking really good, and fits well also. Next will be to prime and paint the head and jaw, and I am waiting for the eyes to arrive next week from Puppets and Props.
Blue or Green? Oh the choices! Dan

Well it took some doing but I got the eyes and Jaw cut out. I have already started on some of the Mechanics. The jaw was tricky because of the shape, but I got it to work ok. My Custom Figure is coming along quite nicely. I will keep you posted.

All in all it has been quite an experience. I made my silicone mold, and although it isn't pretty, it worked just fine. I then made a mothermold out of plaster wrap, and hand cast my head using easyflow 120. Below are some pictures of the process, and finished head.

Oliver Twist

Well I put the final coat of paint on Oliver today, added some color and highlights. He is looking pretty sharp at this point! Mike Brose of Puppets and Props makes some Great Ventriloquist Figure Kits, Check out Puppets and Props under Links. Dan
