He's the one.. "Johnny McElroy"

The first dummy with which you will see me at work, it will be a replica of a famous McElroy dummy: Johnny.

The first thing I did was make a silicone mold of the head.
This is because during the various stages of processing, I could ruin some detail, so I must have the ability to recast any part of the face.

The second step is to open the orbits, cut away the jaw, the upper lip and the nose. Once this is done I proceeded to install a small brass bar, staring into the face. This will serve to support the bulb to illuminate the nose and at the same time will be a support for the nose itself, allowing the "wiggle nose" effect. Then, I will install life cast teeth: this choice is due to the fact that the original teeth seemed too fake, so I preferred to give a touch of realism to the dummy mouth. Now the hardest part is to find a clear resin to make the tip of the nose and allow the "light up nose" effect...

Stay tuned! Soon: photos of the various processing stages!
