Thanks very much guys! Yeah, melonpool I won't be attempting this myself! It's almost tempting to have a go though as the leather is lovely and soft... I'm wondering whether purely for neatness just this cluttered bit of stiching can be snipped and pullled out (it's barely half an inch...

Hi all! I haven't been around for a while, so you probably won't remember me all that well, (so "hello everyone!") I have a stiching-related question I'd like to pose! I've justy recently acquired a very nice real leather Darth Vader suit which is fantastic, virtually flawless inside...

Thanks BB! Jeremy

Hi all ..Computer probs have meant I haven't been able to get here much lately - but hope you all had good Christmasses and New Years! Can I ask a quickie about feathers?? I want to try using a feather boa for puppet hair but what's the best way to apply it? I should really buy one and...

Ahhh, very clever! complex too when George and Zippy had to talk at the same time :) HAPPY CHRISTMAS everyone!! Jeremy

:) I remember hearing about that episode!! That was the cast and crew messing around on set between episode tapings I believe - the urban legend of this show grew to epic proportions amongst students at the time! The jokes were quite subtle but cleverly worked in so that it still...

Cool - I never knew any of the actual 'Rainbow' puppeteers names! Somehow didn't think Skelton operated Zippy as well as voiceing him, as he's known as an actor, and voiceover artist and not a pupeteer. I wonder if he recorded his dialogue in advance for the puppeteers and cast to act with...

heehee, I'll have to get some pictures sorted.. My poor laptop is sick at the moment and I'm not going to be able to get it fixed till the new year, but when I get time.. I haven't a huge amount to show really, I'm in the final stages of a lifesize fibreglass R2-D2! which has been a fun...

*here's a nice lounge recliner for you and a cuppa tea* .... ah, a nice cup of tea! (nothing like it in the cold British winter!) ;) Jeremy

Thanks Janice' - happy Christmas to you too! Jeremy

Hi all, another newbie here! I'm Jeremy, a 31 year old Brit from London and have loved the Muppets all my life. I do a lot of model making in my spare time (building stuff from scratch mostly, not so much kits these days) and want to get more into puppet building. I'm also a big Star Wars...

Thanks FISH'N'WOLFE! Happy Christmas to you too, and to everyone! Jeremy

Thanks Pauly, Warrick, Tztz and ravagefrackle, it's nice to be here! Tztz - no, sorry mate, I haven't had any experience with baking foam latex. That's actually something I'd like to try at some point. From what I understand you need to make a 'plug' that you supend into your mould cavity...

I guess some or most of you know this already.. .. but, for those of you that don't, Zippy and George's voices on 'Rainbow' were provided by actor Roy Skelton who for many years was one of the Dalek voices on Dr Who!! weird isn't it, from one extreme to the other, obviously a very versatile...

Thanks for the warm welcome guys! I'm hoping to get 'puppeting' sometime in the next couple of months once I've finished some other stuff I'm working on. I'll try something that'll be (hopefully) straightforward first of all, while I get re-acquainted with needles and thread! - Hey...

Hi all I'm Jeremy, 31 and living in London in the good old UK! I found this place the other week during my lunch break and have been perusing all your past threads since then.. I thought it was about time I said "hello". :) I've done quite a bit of model making in my spare time and...
