@Over9K how did you manage to get his mouth to stay open that wide?

@Over9K how did you manage to get his mouth to stay open that wide?

I stuck a bit of BluTac putty under his tongue, and pressed it down onto the part of the jaw hinge under the tongue.

If you pull the lower jaw down as far as it will go, and use something to lift the back of the tongue, you'll see a sort of horn that is part of the upper hinge. I put the BluTac on that, and then pressed the tongue down onto it. It lasted about 5 minutes, long enough to take the pictures. You can get 80% or 90% of the same result by just propping the mouth open with a bit of stick. Leave it for a few days and when you take it out, the mouth will very, very slowly return to it's mostly closed state, but you'll have time to take photos.

Of course, if you wanted it permanently that way, you could just hit that hinge horn with some Gorilla Glue and press the tongue down on it.

Just noticed Kiss is back up for pre-order on BBTS (sorry if this was shared before and I missed it). Expected arrival is October.
