Oh, the only other reason for the blocks that i can think of is if you're filming a long movie or a series and you have recurring characters with wire armatures. The blocks make it easy to replace an arm or leg when it breaks without having to build another entire duplicate armature. <BR/><BR/>See, my plan was to take just the arms, sculpt onto them with Chavant NSP (or super sculpey, left unbaked) and make little molds and cast them up in Dragonskin, then I could attach them back onto the puppet. I also figured it would make dressing them easier... often the biggest problem is getting sleeves over the hands. <BR/><BR/>After this, I;m going back to my tried and true (and much simpler) methods... like the way I made Buster and Tonic... and the way I'll be making the <I><B>secret puppet</B></I> tonight.
