Thread: Posing a Blucky

Tweet

I've been working on an alternate way to pose my bluckies that was easy to change and wasn't obvious when displayed without clothes.
I decided to use the heavy wire used with chain link fence. It's fairly stiff but can still be adjusted and isn't hard to work with.
I started out by disassembling by blucky and cutting off the nubs at the end of the bones.

I then threaded a piece of the wire through the hip and shoulder joints.


Run the wire through the middle fingers and toes and bend the wire to secure it.

Tape over the bend

I then ran a piece from the top of the neck and through the pelvis


The skull on this one will be attached with a servo to allow for movement, otherwise I would have run the wire through the skull and hid the wire with some hair.
Here he is - wired, taped, stained and ready for corpsing.

That looks amazing! It's like professional quality. Amazing work Happy haunting.

Wow, looks great! I bought that same wire for some armatures. I like to pose depending on theme. I hope mine turns out half as good as yours. I just haven't figured out how to cut wire yet. I also like how you opened up ribs. Thanks

Glad you like it.
I use the aluminum 9 gauge tension wire and you can cut it with a pair of lineman's pliers. Takes a bit of force but not that tough. It's $18 from Home Depot for a big roll.

Had some time to do some internet surfing while on vacation and found that this isn't a new idea. Check out this link for a bit of a different slant on this idea - http://theghostess.com/miniblucky.htm

Great idea. After a year or two those blasted blucky joint attachments break on their own. This is a smart way to salvage the blucky and pose him the way he would look best in your haunt.

KUDOS!

Awesome job all around! Thanks for the tutorial.

Will have to try this with my broken blucky. Thanks.

Very nice work!!!
