I've been practicing my people (after seeing Thelma and Graham's pictures) and I've managed the head, but how do you attach it to the body? I'm doing a retirement model of a chap I work with and I don't want the head falling off when he takes it home.

Do you just wedge a larger bubble up inside? At the moment I'm using a 260 - pinch twist for the ear, 8 finger bubble, pinch twist for other ear, 8 finger bubble, small bubble, pinch twist for nose, small bubble twisted into ear, then another 8 finger bubble so there are 3 8 finger bubbles making the main part of the head. A scrap of white for the eyes and that's the head finished. Help?

Couple of ways,

1) wedging your 'neck' up into the back of the head, but any movement would cause this to possibly fall out

2) after your 8 finger bubble, come back with a 4 finger, a pinch twist, and then a 2/3 finger bubble for neck. wedge this 4 finger and pinch into the head (i believe i recall this is how don caldwell attaches his monkey head). To attach next to body, i normally find 2 pinch twists at top of body give the best support.

In the model of the month section I explain how to make the man in a plane,
will look for the link as it should show how to do this.
It's on the second page of the instructions; viewtopic.php?f=19&t=1120&st=0&sk=t&sd=a
