So you’ve likely seen my Dragon Project link<\/a> and read a little about what I’ve been planning: a shoulder-mounted animatronic dragon to wear with my wizard outfit.<\/p>\n

This week I’ve stumbled upon another option: a full-size dragon suit with its own animatronic features.<\/p>\n

I ran across this Tweet response to Smooth-On’s #SoMakeItMonday post<\/a> back in early August:<\/p>\n

John and I discussed where I was heading with my project, and along the way I made the comment, “… instead of animatronic, maybe I should go with a dragon costume!”\u00a0 John’s reply – “or applied animatronics in a costume even” – got me to thinking “inside the dragon” (as opposed to “outside the box”).<\/p>\n

John loaned the master mold to a friend, James, who has expressed a willingness to make a cast for me at what I think is a very reasonable price.\u00a0 Working with a little larger character actually makes the animatronics a good bit easier.<\/p>\n

More soon!\u00a0 I’ve got lots to think on…<\/p>\n
