The design is so simple but it still looks really nice :)

Welkom op het forum :) (switching to English again) I really like your puppets. They are unlike any I've seen before.

Welcome to the forum Shawn :) I noticed this was your first post here

It does :) Thanks Kathy

thank you :) I haven't figured out yet how to make the mouth move the way I want it to move actually. So as soon as you're done with that I would love to hear more about it.

Well actually I do believe the look has been done to death. Ofcourse I would not want to discourage anyone to do whatever they like however they like to do it. But Buck makes a few good points.

Took me awhile to find it again. But I remembered this link: http://www.puppet-planet.com/AnimalBLINK.htm

Well I wanted to fool around with Antron abit swell. Guess I have to wait for the substitute though. But who says it's a bad thing? Perhaps they discontinued it because their new fabric is much better. And hopefully also cheaper then. Correct me if I'm wrong, but won't the cash value for...

I'm also busy building puppets with electronics. But I have had barely any prior experience. I won't slow down though because I feel that I don't need to. So I'll probably make alot of mistakes but I don't care. I also needed to attract someone else to help me out with the electronics part...

I can actually order blocks of foam in any size I want. But I still had some sheets of foam wich is why I was wondering about it. Thanks for the info.

Oh I misunderstood :p I'm a bit confused lately. I'm not a member

Can I also glue sheets of foam together until I have a block of foam? Or is it hard to cut through the glue then?

ditto :) last year for me too

I already read somewhere that it is possible to use heat. But it releases chemicals that are very unpleasant. And I suspect it might also burn up and get hard instead of flexible.

Oh I have those :) And I have some old foam I can test it out on aswell. So I'll let you know how it went

Sanding! :) Ofcourse! I hadn't thought of that. Thanks for the tips. Perhaps I should just try an electric bread knife then. I've seen some testmodels plugged in and on display at the stores. So I'll just take some foam with me and try it out first. They'll probably think I'm a nutcase though...

What do all of you use to carve foam with? I prefer not to use heat to singe it because of the chemicals released then. And I do know most people use a turkey cutter. But I can only find electric bread knives here. I'm guessing because those blades have ridges it would tear the foam apart. And...

I agree, puppeteering by a human being usually does move more lifelike than a mechanical puppet. That's why I want to do it that way aswell. Or atleast partly. So I still have to script it first. Wich means there will be no room for spontanious outbursts unfortunately :(

Good decision :) I didn't mean to scare you though by starting about brain tumors. But I guess it's better to be safe than sorry.

You can always take singing lessons. They train you to use your voice the right way by breathing techniques etc. As for being able to put on alot of different voices, I think that's something you either have talent for or not. edit: I also took soflege once. That's learning to hum or sing...
