Hey guys just made up a make shift sculpting armature real quick and figured I'd post a tutorial. It's a good alternative to a real expensive one and I'm sick and tired of only being able to work on one sculpt at a time it gets very boring. Anyway on to the tutorial!Step one is to gather your materials you will need:<img src=\"http://i610.photobucket.com/albums/tt187/decayfx/2-6-1.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" />foam headduck tapeultra calbucketGarden tool <img src=\"http://i610.photobucket.com/albums/tt187/decayfx/2-1-7.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" />It really helps if your foam head has a hole in the bottom mine already did but if yours doesn't just drill one in Once you have your materials gathered you can start by placing your foam head onto the garden tool handle. Mark the handle to your desired length and go at it with a saw!<img src=\"http://i610.photobucket.com/albums/tt187/decayfx/2-2-3.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" />You'll end up with something like this<img src=\"http://i610.photobucket.com/albums/tt187/decayfx/2-17.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /> Now that you have the basic form of the armature already done it's time for the bucket and ultra cal. Mix your ultra cal in the bucket, you are looking to get about one to one and a half inches deep.<img src=\"http://i610.photobucket.com/albums/tt187/decayfx/2-4-1.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /> Once your ultra cal is mixed you can either wait until it sets slightly and place your head form in or you can place the head form in at the beginning and tape it into place like I did<img src=\"http://i610.photobucket.com/albums/tt187/decayfx/2-5-1.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" />And this is what you'll end up with mine cane out a little off center but oh well<img src=\"http://i610.photobucket.com/albums/tt187/decayfx/2-1-8.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /> Hope this helps at least a few people out and have fun! Take care,Hector
