The original jaw for the full-size Uncle Earl was a solid piece of urethane. A little too heavy, I think. So I've used a Dremel saw, a chisel and hammer, and a Dremel grinder to hollow it out. I'll add a thin flat piece of styrene across the top for the tongue to rest upon. The center portion will remain hollow. The remodeled model will be used to make a new mold.
By the way, I killed my Dremel doing this.
I can see where that'd do it, yeah! Love these little backstage insights, Kenny.
