    Hey guys it's been a while, work has me bogged down that I haven't had time to look at making any muppets.. But I did have a little time to try and make cookie monster.. Not perfect but I'm happy at how he turned out.

    Muppet Builds

    Hi guys, Sorry there hasn't been updates with muppets and puppet builds. Things have been busy. Out of curiosity what muppets would everyone like to see me try and build. Trying to gage an idea of what Henson puppet is popular. It can be from any of his shows and I will make a list of the...

    Muppet Builds

    There wasn't a pattern really made for Gonzo everything was made and scaled off the head that was sculpted out of foam. As for fozzie it took me a long time to get the pattern right that I don't really want to give it out sorry.. But the best way to make a pattern is to use monster clay and...

    What was your weirdest puppeteering experience?

    Sadly, I've never performed to the public with puppets, although I can. I'm more of a builder than a performer. But keep the thread up 😊

    Mike Lisa: No puppet after 11 years

    I don't get people like him, makes us who make puppets look bad. I get there can be delays, tracking down materials or waiting for puppet pelts to get stock.. But I mean be upfront, if you can't do the project give the money back. I would only ask for money after the project is done or half...

    It's always best to roughen up an area before using it, if it's smooth it just comes away. I use araldite but I recently tried out mxbon and seems to be OK

    Muppet Builds

    Yeah it was a 3d model I designed for an eye rig, the main piece for holding the ping pong balls is one piece I then back filled the ping pong ball with resin and sat the mech in that so it became solid. The lids where sperate but held in place with the wire and spring piece. As for gluing 3d...

    Yeah I did do a search for the foam but nothing local that I can afford. I have thought about sculpting a head and moulding it, then trying soft polyurethane foam liquid. It's something I was going to do for piggie. As I don't have anywhere to make a oven to bake foam latex and it seems to be a...

    Thank you, It's been a nightmare to get the correct size and open cell foam in the uk. So my plan is to finish him off this weekend, get clothes for him next week and sell him to try again with better materials. This is how he looks at the moment not too bad for a first try...

    I've done a test fitting for Gonzo's eye mech I'm still waiting for the fur to come. I bought a meter and it wasn't what was advertised (so I've designed a monster puppet, I will make it and have for sale soon, pointless wasting it)...

Does anyone have any idea on how his mech works. I understand the basic mech for forward facing eyes...
