How the wearer fits inside the mask

Before sending the finished head off to the Lighthouse, I have taken my own shots of the head without the rest of the costume. There should be some publicity shots of the full costume worn by the dancer taken at the Lighthouse, though the Crocodile costume will not be released to the press before the performance is on show. As the character of the Crocodile is usually shown briefly, using a puppet of static model, Ken wanted the costume to appear as a surprise for the people coming to watch the show. I also hope to get some shots of the costume in context with the rest of the actors and set. I will be attending a dress rehearsal on the 9th December to witness the costume within the show, before the production is performed to the public.

These photos also show the fabric attachment at the back of the neck. This is a spare ruffle made by Debbie with wire running through the bottom to hold the fabric's shape. I simply pinned and glued the fabric into a leather pad inside at the back of the helmet. Though the pins were right inside the helmet, I later removed them just in case they were to fall out during the run of the show.
