You really should have been a prop builder, you have the knack to create something from nothing, which is a quality I greatly admire.

I've always admired people who create. They can be prop builders, artists, writers, etc etc... people with vision and imagination are in my opinion special and the world is a better place for their contributions.

Said my piece now... so I'll go back to talking what I know about... production details and filming locations for The Avengers.

Bless you, I've always been able to create. My hands have always been far, far superior to my brain.

Gathered up the rest of what I need over the weekend, so it's time to get back in touch with my feminine side and start some dress making !

Made a custom body frame for her today using a couple of Domino Pizza boxes and brown parcel tape. Then I turned it into a fibre glass shell.

After a trim and sand down I finished off the rest of the body structure using some 2" wooden dowel, pipe insulation foam and brass hooks and rings for the joints.

A quick trundle on the sewing machine this morning and her silk evening gown is starting to take shape, it was a piece of cake :wink:
