Big Bird Replica Half-finished

[PhsychoChimp]

I have a question, Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeermit, how do you make Gonzo's eyelids move?

 

[SesameKermie]

I know I'm not Keeeeermit (I hope that's the right number of 'e's) but there have been multiple posts about eye mechanisms. The mechanism is really easy to explain in a drawing, but much harder to translate into words. Just do a forum search for "eye mech" and you should find it.

I don't mean the Eye closeing, I mean, Gonzo's type. How do you work it from the puppet?

So how's that Big Bird replica coming along Keeermit?

I love that you made a Pepe. If MR made a Pepe I would have to seriously consider buying it. I love that little guy so.
