Blackbeard the cat is ready to head home! Posed laying down, with his skull and tail fully adjustable, Blackbeard’s mom plans to display him on a pillow to conform to his curves. • • OddArticulations Pet Processing!

We released a new 3d printed toy as our project Happy Flexi pets. It's Baron the fat cat

The fat cat has a funny muzzle that makes him looking a bit shocked (or stupid). We do like this kitty and find him an excellent successor to the cat toy series.

The cat is available as a STL file (for home 3d printing) on Cults3d

If you don't have a 3d printer then you can order the kitty as 3d printing from our partners (the partner's list will be posted a bit later) on our Instagram

The head was not staying the way I wanted, SO Here is how we permanently attached it. After figuring out what position to bend the wire, John welded it to the bar we put across the opening on the skull. Oh yeah, and we mounted it =) So it doesn't have to hang from anything

I finally finished articulating my cat for real this time. Everything is glued and wired in place. I used super glue to permanently glue everything, since goop just isn't strong enough. It was fine for figuring out placement because I could just take it apart if I made a mistake. BE AWARE! I am missing quite a few things, stuff I was confused about, like the front paws extra toes and metacarpals. Mainly because of lack of reference, but also because I don't think I had EVERY single bone. I'm also missing the last four ribs (I have them, just too lazy to pull out the drill and attach ><) I'm missing the collar bones and false ribs as well. Certainly for my next one, it will go much smoother and faster. For one, I am in the warehouse again with all the tools I'll need, plus I have the correct bits to drill the holes in the carpels and phalanges which I didn't have at first. Not to mention, now I know where everything goes hahaha!  If you have any questions about anything in particular, or would like a close up photo for reference, just ask. I'll more than happy to help because I have noticed a SERIOUS lack of reference for articulation specifics. I used a lot of the methods explained on Jake's bones website, (http://www.jakes-bones.com/2013/01/how-to-re-articulate-fox-skeleton-part.html) (http://www.jakes-bones.com/2013/01/rearticulate-fox-skeleton-part-2.html) but there were a lot of things I made up myself. These are all the photos I took of the process located on my blog if you're interested in that =) (links are in ascending order) http://kuragarikurasu.tumblr.com/post/99277365139/the-head-was-not-staying-the-way-i-wanted-so-here http://kuragarikurasu.tumblr.com/post/98972263604/i-wired-the-ribs-in-place-because-i-dont-have-the http://kuragarikurasu.tumblr.com/post/89880103188/my-kitty-is-coming-along-i-didnt-have-a-frame http://kuragarikurasu.tumblr.com/post/89177794700/gluing-the-ribs-to-the-vertebrae-heres-a-nice http://kuragarikurasu.tumblr.com/post/89098729344/glued-the-nails-on-making-progress http://kuragarikurasu.tumblr.com/post/88491960969/progress-im-making-on-articulating-my-first-cat
