Sorry I didn't mean the set should be made of plasticene, I just ment you can fill your holes up with it

what if it is like grass and cant be filled with plasticine

Whats the grass made from?

Found

(TARGAS)

Nice one nofby! I found my clothing puppet one too.

for armatures, if you dont have cloth tape would it be better to use masking or no tape at all?

ok once i have made the armature do i just apply plastercine or do i have to do something with this mysterious foam i am hearing about?

thanks

TipTopGolfy, you should add some wood or epoxy and then cover quite a bit of the armature in duct tape. Don't use foam with plastacine because sometimes it deforms badly.

oh thanks

Ok can someone please tell me what i need to do. I have a copy of Cracking Animation but am confused about all this foam latex stuff.

Should i follow these tutorial (i want to make plastercine models)

how do yuo make a good are of eyes

i used bb bullets painted with tip-ex then simply put on black dots with marker pen or put black dots on beads thats how they did it with W&G

does anyoneknow where i can getany wire for a cheapish prise

you can probably get it from you local hardware store

thx ill try that oh and http://www.animationsupplies.net/acryliceyes.php sell eyes alongwith alotof other stuff

I would not suggest a hardware store, because the wire you will want will be an armature wire, which you can buy at an art shop. No hardware store will have an annealed armature wire, so any wire you buy there will break after not too much movement, go with some sculpture armature, wire you can get it probably at any art or hobby store

I make my armatures out of epoxy and 1/16 inch armature wire twisted together....
i got my wire from Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Inch-Foot-Aluminum-Armature-Wire/dp/B00251G0FG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1327853143&sr=8-1

That is exactly what you want.
