Subject: Re: [Puptcrit] technical question re giant puppet body part


Sorry Tina,
seems your first question has drawn a blank.
Is the Summer Queen....voluptious? or......
The only thought I had was to creat the bosum out of foam sheeting with 
minimal structure supporting...this would allow them to sway in a manner 
that somewhat looks more natural....for a horizontal sway use a foam bracing 
running vertical....?
The Rolling Stones used an inflatable puppet of a rather voluptious young 
lady and I believe they under inflated the breasts to a degree to allow for 
some movement in that area.....that may be quiet a viable option? ........Im 
not going there........
I thought of latex sheeting suspended across the cleavage, between two or 
three frames. The skin would flex with movement giving a sense of flesh?
Sorry...never been asked to do that one so I can only offer a few ideas that 
may trigger a solution

Daniel
