*Monsieur Poirot – Part 3

Good morning, friends!
Last Update: March 8, 2017.
Continues from Part 2.

Monsieur Poirot is an experimental doll.
I will, of course, write a step-by-step process description after I complete this one.
I will include the links to the Humanly Posable Armature parts at Morezmore.

If you just arrived and landed here, you can see the detailed description of the parts and tools here.
I will be glad to see people joining me on this project (using stop motion armature for OOAK doll).
**********************
The hardest part is done, now it is time for fun – dressing!
This is what I have by now:

**********************
Next – the head is painted.

A short picture story for you:
“Mail?… So early?”

“A gruesome murder! and I am still in my garters!”

“George! My shoes, please!”

**********************
So, dressing…
For much more detailed description of how all this is made, please see Making Miss Marple posts. Poirot dressing will be very similar.

Materials used:
– paper towels (to measure off on the doll before you cut fabric)
– cotton voile fabric for dress shirt
– black satin ribbon for bow tie and garters
– black rattail cord for shoe laces and pince-nez string
– black nylon stocking for sheer socks
– black stretch velvet for vest
– grey stretch fabric for suit
– Fabritac glue
– scissors
– toothpicks
– mini spatula (to tuck fabric in)
– mini cabochon tray for
– mini link chain for watch
– jump rings for pince-nez frame (will be listed after February 3, 2017)
… this list will probably continue

Bloody garters…

*********************
At long last, I am back with Poirot. I had to take care of some emergencies and then catch up with the store work. Anyway, Poirot finally got his pants on. I also did some research on the details of his shoes. And the materials for accessories are also here – will describe them later, as I use them.

*********************
The vest and the watch.
The vest (and the pants) are made out of stretchy fine thin grey jersey, the same way as the Miss Marple suit.

Tools and materials used:
– paper towels
– stretch fabric for the suit
– Fabritac glue
– scissors
– toothpicks
– mini spatula

Pocket watch:
– watch casing
– mini link chain
– mini jump rings
– crystal lacquer

How to:
1. Print a small 10 mm image of a pocket watch, for example one of these:

2. Cut it out and put inside the watch casing.
3. Put a drop of crystal lacquer of the watch face image, making a clear “dome” over the watch face.
4. Allow to dry, attach the chain with a jump ring (you will need a needle to make the end chain link a bit larger, because the chain is very fine).
5. Use 2 more jump rings to attach the pocket watch chain to the vest.

Buttons are made the same way as on the Miss Marple suit.

-“Let me say zis, mon ami. It should not take 5 weeks to get my jacket ready.
I have sympathy for you.”
