I still need to get down to the garment district to get fur for him and I need to go to Kinko's copy shop to blow up my reference pics. I got a job for the last 3 weeks and I start a new job on Monday so things are pretty busy but in a good way.

Here is my update picture. I will attempt to load it. If it doesnt work I will immediately add a link to my blog so you all can see what I got for Gonzo. NOt much yet but its a start.
Where did you find the sweater vest? I've been looking for it and had no luck.

I bought it on ebay after looking through literally hundreds of vests. Look up Argyle 18 month sweater vests.

No idea yet but I got to see one of the prototype Gonzos up close and the fur has little white fibers in with the blue. I was told that Joannes has a good color right now so I am going to go check it out. I realize your across the ocean. Joanne's is our local fabric store. Thanks for the lead on the foam. I am going to go into my local foam store and see what they can do for me. I have that piece I put the eyes on but its not reticulated.

Update.....I went to the foam store and they can get me a block of reticulated foam whatever size I want. I just have to blow up my reference pics and I can give them the dimensions of the block i need. They are not known for being inexpensive but i want to know I did it as authentic as i can. I saw the different pore sizes and I am going with something in the middle. This isnt much but it really made my day. It definitely excites me to want to go to the copy shop this weekend. I am hoping to pop out to our local fabric store to see what they have as far as fur but I really want to take another trip down to the fabric district of LA. They have everything there.
