Marvel puppets: captain america, ironman, & daredevil

Wow, it has been a long time since I have updated this blog, I still have so many more things to show. for this post I have some more recent creations that me and my brother made for christmas. These marvel customs we have created are made with a very different technique. They are much bigger than our normal figure size and are 9 inches, roughly a 1/8 scale. They are experimental stop motion puppets and are made of wire armatures covered with soft urethane foam and fabric. I wanted to see if I could make these figures a little more realistic and life like, with finer details and shape. I am pleased with the first attempts at this and I hope to make more soon.

 Classic captain america with his golden age shield. I was modeling him after the costume in the movie.

 Iron man is modeled after the classic comic book version.

 Cap and Iron man are supposed to look life sized here. I like to experiment with photography of our creations and make realistic perspectives.

 A motion shot of Cap running. You can see my finger holding his foot because unfortunately I didn't design him with tie downs.

 The shield is actually a lego piece that I painted and put straps on.
