STEAMPUNK BAT

I've been putting this doll project off long enough! I wanted to make this steampunk

Bat, wasn't sure how I wanted to do this one. I want him to be flexible and poseable, but with polymer features!

So I've decided to go with sculpey head, hands and boots! The rest will be wire armature with stuffing felted to them, then

Sew the sleeves and legs fabric "tubes" to cover. I haven't had much experience working with leather, I want him to have a bomber hat and a jumpsuit with lots of straps and buckles! I might just cheat with sewn and painted muslin to look like leather, or,, go for the gusto and learn some leather work and tooling! Stay tuned to find out which one I choose!!
