I continue to make slight improvements on my vent figures. Inspired by Clinton Detweiler's methods, I've added fleece lining to the inside of the body cavity. I think this will make the hand more comfortable as it moves and manipulates the little fella's controls.
I use wood torsos by Braylu. The 30-inch variety has no dowels or semi-hard covering on the chest portion of the torso. So I use a sheet of white styrene plastic secured with staples to cover the chest area. This seems to work pretty well.
I'm also creating more templates. While each character is very different, there are still common techniques and measurements. I'm getting a little smarter about this vent-building.
