Soft foam popper SBS

[RHenn]

Gonna give it a try:
Wrap hook with thread, it gives the foam a decent base to adhere to.


Cut the foam to fit the hook.


This is the tool I use to turn down the bodies:


Use a dremel tool and emery board to turn down the body:



Use a razor blade to cut a slit in the foam body:


Put the body on the hook using super glue, or zap a gap


Paint scales, put eyes on and coat with Liquid Fusion.

Now you can thread the legs and put whatever kind of tail you like on the back. I have a small bit that I use to hollow out the front of the popper, but it's not required. Hope this shows how I do these poppers!

OK, messed that up, let's try again:
Wrap the hook with thread.

Cut the foam to fit.

Here is the tool I use to turn down the bodies.

I use an emery board and dremel to turn the bodies down to the shape I want.

Cut a slit in the foam, and use super glue to glue the body on.

Paint scales, attach eyes, thread the legs, and coat with Liquid Fusion, and tie whatever tail you like on the back.

This looks great! Is the bit you used one you made or bought? And how did you do the scales?

[RHenn]

I bought the bit, and I used some fine mesh pulled tight over the body and a can of spray paint to do the scales. And thank you !

[teachmarkey]

Were did you get the bit? And the mesh is a great idea!
