I have started to transfer my designs into 3D. I want to get the body shape sorted primarily so that I can then focus on his aesthetic qualities.

The simplist way that I could test these ideas were with cheap wire, masking tape, cardboard and foam. I started with his frame under the bulk imagining how it would be made when building the puppets armature. Once I had his initial frame I then started to build ontop with his outfit. This is something that proved quite difficult and I will need to think how this will sit stable on the final puppet ontop of such a small body frame whilst being hollow to show his neck.

As soon as I had put the outfit on I realised that his body shape would have to change as having shoulders in the 'normal' position means that they are visible underneath his clothes. If I were to start them lower down they may be able to be hidden underneath his clothes.
 | I thought I would have a go at sculpting the head out of sculpey so that I had a fully formed marquette so show in an upcoming presentation. |
