Well, sure you'll have more fun than we did when he came to England. He forgot to get a work permit and wasn't allowed into the country! Whoops!

If this is for a design course shouldn't you be designing the character and making the pattern yourself?

And having worked with him on a build a few months back, he's also a really nice guy.

Received this very sad news earlier today. Peter was a great puppeteer, a fine actor and along side Nigel Ellacott one of the finest Ugly Sisters in Pantoland. He worked for the Henson Organisation on a number of projects. We are sad to announce the sudden death of PETER ROBBINS on the 14th...

Having seen the puppet I don't think it was made from real socks. Machine knitted perhaps? It was very well made, with a lot of weighty stuffing to keep shape.

Nigel Plaskitt is the principal performer. The puppet was made by Paul Jomain.

Master Replicas Forum.

Slip cast latex makes good puppets as well. And is far easier to use than foam latex.

They are quite stylised characters though.

The arms are rather long.

"It is unlikly that another example of the figure will be offered." It is unlikely because the majority of the people that worked on the film care more about the work than the money so would rather keep it. Especially as it was a gift! Remember this is the same seller who sold the order...

Diesel £1.40 a litre in Scotland today. What a joke. As someone who has to travel a lot for work it isn't good!

Michael Earl's teaching tour of London seems to have ground to a halt over immigration/permit issues. The classes at Central certainly have been cancelled, which is a shame, especially as I've turned down work in order to go
