In
the last year we had the luck to get 180 sqm skin-colored ripstop
nylon.
This
condition allowed us to produce even inflateble figures with little
less clothing. The first idea was in the direction of Fred Feuerstein
and Barney Geröllheimer.
But
then we purchased on Ebay the characters of Asterix and Obelix.
Relatively quickly the idea was born to build the two small heroes.
Remains
also guarantees that the two never be separated!!
Very
soon we created the necessary templates and cut out the parts with
much vigor. Then it went quite quickly to the sewing.
A
particular challenge was to create his drinking bottle and his sword.
After all, that has a length of almost 3 meters (9,8 ft).
In
both parts we had to sew gauze so that they rise later in the wind.
And ensure they stay in shape, we have provided the sword and bottle
with inner cords.
After
the body was finished relatively quickly, we went to his head. Which
consists of 28 parts. A particular challenge was definitely the
hair and mustache.
On
the rag doll, these parts made from lint. We had to create the beard
for this kite. In many parts we had to be sewn in tucks.
Then
fit the reinforcement at the inner seams and sew everything with
strings together. Then get the inner cords by a fan on the right
internal length.
Attach
scales at the small Gaul so he is ready for his test flight.
Here
the distribution of the small Gaul:
All
in all, a total of 160 sqm ripstop nylon.
Then
the templates were created for the obese Gaul.
The
feet and range up to the pants could be used by Asterix. The pants
and the stomach were created from 28 individual parts.
Upper
and arms took another 8 parts in claim. Finally the head with 42
individual parts and the obese Gaul had only to get scales and inner
cords.
In
total, the Asterix and Obelix project swallowed 362 sqm ripstop
nylon. The result is impressive.
Here
the distribution of the obese Gaul:
All
in all, a total of 202 sqm ripstop nylon
