Description Tinysaurus poses in the latest cast from my collar project.  This one needs some work: it got a little bit melty around the bottom edge, but I wanted to see how it fit.  Of course, it's for someone with a slightly longer neck, so she's having a bit of trouble with it, and staring at the ceiling.

The important thing, even though the attachment point for the straps is somewhat distorted, is that now I have a fixed point of reference to measure from.  Now I just need to get the temperature of the plastic right.  Last week it was too cold and tore.  This week it's too hot and wrinkling.  GRRRRRR ARRRRRRG HEADBANG

It's a learning experience! Best of luck.

Learning experiences are less fun when you think you've gotten it dialed in.  If I can't make this work this way, I have a backup plan.  I'd originally planned to build this as strips.  The vacuforming seemed an easier route when I took making lots of sizes into account, but so far it has been more of a hassle.  Now that I have a neck form that matches your size, building the collar right on it would work.
