Zulu Zombie Puppet Body

started off doing a quick life size drawing of how the body would be laid out like, we then took some hard would and stripped it down into smaller lengths we then worked out our sizes for each individual part, after cutting the pieces to size we gave them more shape by sending and cut in the joint angles and the slots to wear the material will fit in

  sculpted up hands out of super sculptie and cook them in the oven we did this by making a wire frame to sculpt round also the wire will help others when we do the cast, I also shortened the arms of my puppets body as I had realised the proportions weren’t quite right

 








jointing up puppet using fabric and wood glue, place the fabric into the grooves I had cut into the pieces of wood and glued them into place. I also added “ kneecaps ” and “ elbows “ this was just to ensure that the joints didn’t over bend the wrong way, it was added a nice natural movement to the joints. Also added fixed feet to the body ready for shaping into boots.
