Amazing Mechanical "werewolf" Claws & Stilts

www.mckeewildthings.com More behind the scenes detail of hand and leg extensions for Farscape alien character "Namtar" for episode "DNA mad Scientist".
This was work I did working with Dave and Lou Elsey for Jim Henson's creature shop in Sydney in the 1990s. The character was performed by mold and foam specialist Adrian Getly. I made the body extensions and worked with long time colleague Matt Ward on the head. We made a counter-current flow cool suit for Adrian to wear to keep him cool under all that gear, based on system I developed on the never filmed Smiths "Gobbledok".

Can you believe the freak called "chemtrailorbs" !!

He keeps sending me vids of the sky and contrails and often birds and insects fly through frame out of focus. He swears they are alien spaceships or "orbs".

I wasn't sure if he's joking for a while but he blitzes lots of other folk so he seems to be serious. They are barking mad but are so bonkers they don't realise it!

Maybe I don't need an air compressor. You think I can just use a small air cylinder alone like an oxygen tank connected to the tubing? You can reach me direct joe_paramedic@yahoo.com. Sorry to bother you with so many questions.

"thats no werewolf that just lookes like a jacked up alien"

Perhaps that's why the info box specifically says "extensions for Farscape alien character "Namtar" for episode "DNA mad Scientist". ?

Your buddy, chemtrailorbs, thinks I'm ignorant. hahahahahahaha

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! I don't know much about that but I think I can tell the difference between birds, bugs and space ships. Too freaking funny! I found some youtube videos on nutters that think zombies are real. Well it's people like that makes life a little more entertaining.

@GregOrca That would be great. Conspiracy nutters? LOL That's too funny. Send me a link to your site. Just be aware I'm just your average Joe who enjoys Halloween or any event involving creative costumes. So my knowledge is not so great as yours oh Yoda. LOL
