uffepuffe 0 Report post Posted September 5, 2005 Thanks Geoff! The head was a difficult thing if any! It is made from one specificaly shaped piece of water proof paper who's tied in above the hook eye, then folded together to the right shape, fold it down over the hook eye (making sure the antennas stuck trough) and finally secured with just a drop of superglue. I'll post an images on how it's constructed later today. I also wrote the wrong thing in the materials listed in the database. The abdomen is from heat shrink tube an not Latex. /Ulf Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
