Hmm, interesting, I like it.
How much of the articulation is retained though? I guess the canvas restricts movement somewhat, but as the joint itself is covered up, you could carve away a lot of plastic to try and compensate for range of movement. |

The difficult part is the painting. I'm using liquitex acryllic because it's a flexible acryllic but I'm only painting it thick on the areas that don't change and then light washes around the joints. I'm bleaching the micro canvas tonight and I'm going to try to see if it will also thin the material a little. If it does, I might do another with bleached micro canvas. |

Stuff looks good, but it's a little thick. A lot of it looks removeable which adds girth. I have this material glued which is great for realistic poses.

Guppy - can't wait to see it finished, and kudos to you for even trying something like this.
