Campaign Story
After finishing my build of Dr. Doppler from Treasure Planet, I've picked up some new skills and an insatiable need to learn more. I'd like to build a Silver cosplay next, as screen-accurate as possible.
Yes, this means extra long arms and short legs. A mechanical arm! I'll be primarily working with latex, EVA foam, fabric. Also needed will be some materials for building a lightweight frame to fake his body shape.
The minimum cost of this build would be $500, hence the need for crowd-funding. The quality can go up if I can get more than that, but I am good at doing budget work. I have to be!

I wanted to make this construction journal available in case anyone in interested in how I built Dr. Doppler. I made a lot of mistakes and learned from them, and some of my techniques for Silver will be similar but now with some experience.Dr. Doppler Construction DiaryPhoto in cover image

While traveling in Whangarei I spent $24NZD (about the last of the available funds) on the perfect red and green striped fabric for John Silver's pants. I bought an ample 3 meters to make sure I have enough for the exaggerated figure I intend on making.I've applied the base. . . . .
How it's Going
Update posted by Kathryn Kortegast at 07:49 amHey all, I felt like an owed an update, since it has been a while! I was able to use the donations so far to make a plaster bust on which I can start sculpting the mask.Due to a very stressful, full-on semester at vet school, I haven't started sculpting. . . . .
Ready for first step!

I'm waiting for a sunny day to get started with making a plaster cast of my head and torso.Once this has dried out, I'll sand it and coat it with wood glue. It should be ready to start sculpting on within
