The winker works! I actually miscalculated my first round of mechanics and had to de-install them. The rocker was interfering with the eyebrow springs, so I went to a single tube and rod pulley. Works like a charm. The last step is to add the eyelashes. Then I need to string the eyebrows and jaw, add the side-to-side eye guides and install the jaw pulley. Pop on her Hannah Montana wig and her head is done.
I'm glad I saw this on Facebook. I have a question. I have a Tim Selberg figure that was made in 1994. By any chance does anyone make something that helps to secure the head to the body once it has been inserted into the hole where the neck would go ? My figure has a lever inside the body cavity that lets me lift the left arm up and down. If I tilt the body forward while I'm using the lever and my hand is not on the control stick, I am afraid the head is going to fall out. So I thought that maybe someone made a device that prevents that ? Any suggestions ?
ReplyDeleteAs I recall, the Selberg figures have wood headsticks. Try adding an eyehook to the bottom of the stick, and attaching another eyehook to the interior base of the body centered just below the headstick. Then connect the two eyehooks with a rubber band. The head will be secure, but still be able to move freely.
ReplyDeleteSuperb! :)
