A few of my custom builds

[Muppetlab]

Hello you lot
What a great year it has been for me! Its been one year this month since i begun to seriously get into building puppets and you guys have all been great as far as sharing tips and techniques go so thankyou!

Ive previously shared my attempts of making Muppet Replicas but realised ive not shared much in the way of the custom stuff i have done... So to show you that i have put all your awesome advice to good use, here are the results... And of course any constructive feedback is always welcome

Custom Dog-

Custom Giraffe-

Custom character built for UK muppet performer Chris Thatcher-

He was my first attempt at a "live hand" puppet

And my first build for a TV production (soo excited!!)

He has an eyebrow mech to!!

Chris, those are great. I especially like the dog and the Chris Thatcher puppet. Please keep sharing your custom work!

Great puppets Chris and congrats on making it to a year. I think if you've managed to get some TV work within a year of serious building then you're obviously doing something right

Great work! Spiffy looking characters and craftmanship. I also like the little collages you do fot the characters; they really show the puppets off to their best advantage.
