Martin the Mouse

My daughter wanted to go as Martin the Mouse from Redwall for Halloween.  So I whipped up the head for her while she put together the rest of the costume.  Anyway, this is my second fur head …. the first was the fox.  Like the fox, this one is ventilated with a CPU cooling fan and has a hinged jaw that moves when the wearer talks.  But unlike the fox in which the wearer looks through the tear ducts, the eyes on the mouse are “functional” clear acrylic hemispheres blackened with window tinting film that the wearer looks through.

I was on a tight schedule and didn’t have time to craft a Sculpy nose or something, so just shaped this from foam.  I wasn’t happy with the pink, but that’s what the girl wanted ….
