I cast the hands, feet and hair & neck in Silicone
When Bobo is Tramp his hat is cast in 10T with armatured in a core made of fast cast with Fil-lite mix. The armatured clicked off when pressed.The cap brim was wired
Feet armature, I made a second lower foot mould so that we could cast his feet with the soles for shots with them in.The base of his feet would be seen at various times throughout the film (normally the base plate is used for tying down and only occasionally seen)
Final hand armature, using the standard armature and bending the fingers to fit
I made the first right hand proto-type armature made using the thumb from standard hand armature. I was trying to design a hand for Bobo to use whilst carrying a plate, like a waiter. It was not used as one hand (left) was too slim
Initial designs in Ali & copper wire. Used for special hands when required
