Nikolai (Part 1) – Morezmore Humanly Posable Puppet
Nikolai is Igor‘s twin brother, or rather Igor-2.0. If all goes as planned, Nikolai will be starring in a stop motion film.
A group of stop motion enthusiasts are making a collaboration stop motion project. Each of us take a “job” (script, storyboard, character concept sketches, puppet fabrication, props, animation, editing, music and foley, etc.). We work together to make a short film, and, in return, get the shared rights to the films – for promotion, experience or resume. No pay, just the rights to the video use.
If you would like to join us, please join the public Facebook Group So You Want to Make a Stop Motion Film.
Nikolai The Troll Group – we are looking for Prop Fabricators and Voice Talent. If you would like to help with props or voices, please join.

Super Sculpey Polymer Clay – Softening or Bringing from the Dead
If your Super Sculpey Firm or Super Sculpey Living Doll Polymer Clay
(or any other polymer clay) is ok, but too firm and needs just a bit of softening:
Add a bit of Sculpey Smoothing Oil, knead.
The clay restores to perfect, like new, texture.
