That's Pretty Awesome!

That's a really cool vid so far darkranth!.....I like how they all look so far. Especially Trekkie. I like how you're carving them. Can't wait to see the finished puppets!

Well......now the pig has a backstory on why he's emo....

whoa...wax?...like any kind of wax? or like those little things of bees wax?

yea....I've done it....it smells really bad (actually kind of sweet) and a lot of smoke comes from it.---if you were to do it, do it outside and with a respirator.----I've done it in my closed off puppet room in my basement with the door closed & no windows.....you can stand it....but it isn't...

Hey Patience, He means like half inch or 1 inch thickness. Half inch is recommended.---Also does this place sell it in white?

That was Really Cool!.....can't wait to see more!

Whoa....that's an interesting fact about hot glue....it's kind of one of those annoying facts you find out only after a long time of doing it.....bother.....well, I know I've never liked the sweet/tangy smell of the glue on the foam...sheesh... I also use scissors for cutting foam--but it also...

That Was helpful!....Thanks a lot. From those previous Terry Angus drawings/pics I thought the trigger had to wrap around your middle finger. But yours is a lot more useful.

hmmmm......The main link works for me, but when I go to the directory & click on "Blinking eye mech 1 & 2" it comes up with broken pictures & says it's being posted or is under construction.

I personally thing Project Puppet is more useful. The foam book is nice to look at.....but I've never used the techniques it shows because it's not what I'm going for. It's a nice idea book though. but project puppet is much more worthwhile. & you could probably find the foam book at a library.

That is one Great Character/Puppet! I remember seeing parts of him being built in the background of some of your replica pics. CUTE!

I also recommend project puppet as a starting point. It opened my eyes to how puppet shapes are done & has really helped me learn to pattern my own basic shapes. It's an investment well made.

I've been sleeping on mine lately....... but what's another/more efficient way to do it?

I don't think they look similar. I see lots of differences between the two. Starting with the head shape, then the color, eyes and then clothes. Really all I see that's the same is that they're pigs and they're wearing brown clothing.

Im near Detroit & there's actually a puppet store around here. They sell mostly how to books, play books, and puppets for schools etc..... ......It's not that useful for me though...

Yea......That's exactly what I do. You don't need contact cement for it. Just the duct tape, it's sticky enough to stay that way. Personally though....I don't just use one piece I use two pieces. One for the back & one for the front that overlaps.

I don't recommend it... but someone took apart Kermit, layed out the pieces & took a photo....I looked for the photo to post for you....but I gave up. (sorry) But you won't be able to make a puppet from it. You would only be able to look at the pattern for parts of him....like the head. A lot...

You don't have to glue the duct tape onto the poster board. The tape can stay on itself....You can just stick it on....the glue just makes it slip & slide.
