Mike Brose

That Mike Brose guy (of Puppets and Props fame) is sure smart. I was reviewing his book "Figure Making Can Be Fun" to get some guidance on eye mechanics. As mentioned before, the Charlies' eye sockets are irregular and will require individual set-ups. No single platform will work very well.

So... goofy me... I made two separate platforms for each eyeball. That strategy was not working well at all. Then I re-read his section on irregular eye sockets. Mounting a pivot bar for each eyeball (sans platform) makes a lot more sense. I bought the hardware today and I'll attempt this new approach tonight, which seems infinitely more promising!
