So, I've been charged with building "Smaug" for ACT's fall production of The Hobbit. For the base of the head I'm using a simple hinge-joint puppet mechanism. Instead of fabricating the piece I got an oversized decorative clothespin that I've modified a bit and I'm going to be building onto it. I'm going to be using a lot of EVA foam to get the core shape and then overlaying pieces of "fun foam" to shape the dragon's head.
