MAKING-OF an ACTION FIGURE

This was shot over 3 days to show the making of the Dale Chihuly Art Army action figure by Mike Leavitt. Day 1 was at Seattle's BLVD Gallery, part of the closing event for The Guerilla Art Army show. Days 2 and 3 were in Leavitt's Seattle studio.

There need to be some TF2 action figures. That would be KICKASS.

How do you keep the styrofoam from melting?

[Shapeshiftersart]

If there were at least one closeup other than the one at the end, watching this would have been worth it.

how many degrees needed to cook the clay? thanks!

[mrgogetem98]

what kind of Polymer clay you use. we were told never to use Stir foam with PC and then bake it because of the fumes -seems to have changed. What kind of Foam do you use? Beautiful to just sit here and watch you work.

Thanks -- Jim Peacock -

[thebioshockguy1]

wait how did he make it have movable arms?

[brunobliss]

i didn't because i was mainly trying to do a head, but i think the technique used goes trough creating an exoskeleton made out of aluminum wire, you know those that can bend and all?
