Sculpey Is Cheeper Than Fimo 2 And Them 2 Say On The Pack How To Bake It

do they say on the back how 2 bake it

Yup

Teeth?

TEETH?! That was a reply to Conty.

well, didnt turn out quite how i wanted so im going to have another go later, tricky stuff

A tip to all Stop Mo animaters... this is a trick where you can find out exactly how many pics you need to take for a seane.

now you say...
one... the time it took you to say one was six frames worth or pics.

ok now say...
one-thou. that would take 12 pics

one-thou-sand =18

one-thou-sand-one =24 pics. so one thousand one would be one second worth of pics.

so say you want your puppet to move his arm frome the bottom of his body to the top. then get out of your chair and you your self move your arm frome the top to the bottom of your body while you do it try to do it in that the time it takes you to say one. if you did it you made a really fast movement that did not look that normal thats how your pupet would look if you only took 6 pics so then say one-thou while doing the same thing you did before... now that was much more normal that just saying one. you can apply this to anything. but say if you have a long movement then video yourself then apply the one-thou-sand-one rule to it while you wach yourself. i hope this make sence and will help you i know it has helped me =D

That's great help, J-Snake. How do you work out the dialouge thing?

thanks mark the shark. i have not worked much with talking much. but i learned that trick frome mark spess'es dvd "How to Animate Puppets 2 DVD Set" that he sells at his web site www.animateclay.com and in that dvd he also explanes how to make you puppet look like its talking. i really really recmond it but if you are not from the U.S.A. then i not shure if it will work on your dvd player because we use a difernt kind of DvD player. but i would still go to the site you can even ask mark himself on the form if you want. hope this helps

Hi conty or Carvor or both please please can you tell me how you make hands because mine always look ridiculous please help me and quick for i am making Wallace right now

Yeah, I need help on hands too!

Modelmaker93 with Wallace I worked from a scaled photo which I traced the hands and made card templates, I then flattened out the plasticine to the desired thickness then cut around the templates, to finish of I used a cocktail stick to round and shape the fingers.

Wow, fast reply!!!

if you want to do it quick, make a mitten shape (you know a glove without fingers and just a thumb), then slice into where the fingers should be and smooth off, hey presto a hand!!!good luck

Thank you, Conty!

No sos i just felt like putting it on i ain't that good of a model maker lol it is from the Exhibition website,

Modelmaker my version of Wallace is 10" tall.
Your characters are looking fab Modelmaker.

Great model j-snake it reminds me of the Thunderbirds when they wore special suits to go into burning buildings.

thanks modelmaker and cavor. um...what were the thunderbirds?

yes ive made wallace and gromit, though wallace has broken and fell apart, ive still got gromit though, maybe i will post some more later, just busy drawing, making some other models and messing with my christmas stuff!!! j-snake thunderbirds where string puppets that were really popular years ago, before our time, but still it was good back then

Thunderbirds were big rockets that the Tracy Family rode around the world and saved people. Yeah, they were string puppets as Conty said. I'm looking forward to seeing them Conty!

Oh yeah Conty Where did you get the pictures from for making your vicar?

i played the dvd of curse of the ware rabbit and got it from there, you could always copy and paste or drag and drop my model that i done from this web site, and use that as a guide, hope that helps

here you are

How did you copy and paste it from the DVD?

o ok thanks conty i have never heard of them before were thay an england show because if they were then that would explain why i never heard of them because i live in the U.S.A.

i didnt copy and paste from dvd, i froze different frames of the vicor to see what he looked like, but its not idea its alot easier if you have a picture in front of you that you can quickly look at

Hi thanks for the pic my model doesn't rreally look like yours he kinda looks like this vicar from a show called father ted i am waiting for the batteries on my camera to chage so then i can upload it.

Thanks Conty. Good luck, Modelmaker93!

My camera is nearly finito!
