Hey everyone, just wanted to share my FIRST attempt at Polymer sculpting EVER. I want to make my own palisades Muppet figure, but with a bit more realistic elements. I have always wanted to do Fraggles, so i thought I would test my skills on Wembly's Head....What do you think folks? I decided to use thread for hair...thoughts?







Finished head beside my other PALISADES muppet figures (Purchased)

I love it :excited:! It really looks like Wembley's head. (I personally would really like to see how the others turn out.)

He looks great! Very on model, and the thread hair looks perfect. You even have different colored strands in there. My only crit would be that the puppet's "skin" is greenish yellow rather than primary yellow.

I'd love to see a complete Wembley, and more Fraggles from you.

It is GREAT! My only problem is that he seems a little out of scale, as he was even smaller than Kermit in Muppet Family Christmas.:coy:

Well the making of Wembley's head is good but there is one thing Missing.
It is the rest of Wembley's body!

Beautiful! Perfect. The hair is extraordinarily accurate. I'd buy him!

Most Muppet heads seem to be about the same size so I think his height will be about right once the body is created. :coy:

But seriously, if you did a series of these a lot of people here would want them!! :fanatic:

I've wanted to do the something but fraggle hair seemed too hard to replicate in a figure. Seems you found the perfect way around that! It looks amazingly accurate to the real thing.
