    My Kermit Puppet build (2017)

    Here’s a pic with a few of my newest builds! The sitting ones are puppets and the standing one is my latest build, a “photo puppet” with wires inside. All of these are from my improved patterns over my earlier versions seen above in this thread. These newer builds utilize gasket rubber...

    Robin photo puppet project.

    Thanks I really appreciate that! He was kind of a hard one to research—Kermit was much easier to study from photos—as there doesn’t seem to be a whole lot of good references of him.

I mostly have Kermit on display anyways. The styrene is basically thin plastic material that is able to flex quite...

This is the final one, which was inspired by the earlier version Kermits. I also took a few ques (flat looking feet with...

    Robin photo puppet project.

    I figure I’ll share my recent Robin build! I made it as a “photo puppet”, so he has interior wiring armature for posing. However, I tried to use references of the performance puppet in an attempt to better capture his personality, as the actual Robin photo puppet looks pretty different than the...
