As for more Muppet recasts of movies, I do have a couple of those in mind.
I still want to do more with Jurasick Pork. I've got a couple more figures I need to customize, like Dr. Bunsen Honeydew as John Hammond, and Piggy as the Swinosaurus. I also need to retouch my Gonzo-as-Ian-Malcolm, because the Lew Zealand frill scraped away some of the hand-mixed paint on his torso when I redressed him for Moulin Scrooge.
In a similar vein, I have several pages of storyboards doodled for 'Gonzilla', which has less to do with Godzilla movies than it has to do with films like The Fifty-Foot Woman, but 'Gonzilla' was a better pun than 'The Fifty-Foot Weirdo'.
And I had an idea recently for a Muppet recast of a certain well-loved musical from the 80's. I know exactly which Muppets I want in which roles (and once again, Gonzo's casting is really ideal). But the biggest hurdle is that first I'll have to make a really good custom of Annie Sue, because she's the perfect Muppet for the lead role.
In the meantime, I'm also wanting to set a photonovel on Koozebane to make use of my diorama. But anything set on Koozebane will probably involve the Swinetrek, and for that I need to finish my 'Swinetrek engineering' set and some other similar environment extensions.
Speaking of which, has anyone got good reference images, even from pop-up books and story books, etc. of the rest of the Swinetrek? Any locations BESIDES the Bridge? It can be anything... backgrounds from the animated PiS on Little Muppet Monsters, stuff from the Atari videogame, stuff in Muppet Magazine.
I've asked in the past for scans of an issue of MM that showed the landing gear. I still need that, but I'll take whatever's out there.
I just don't want to build something entirely from my imagination and then have the inevitable wisenheimers make comments like, "Why didn't you include this detail from this obscure source material?"
Um, 'cause I didn't have those reference items? Maybe? Thanks for hogging them all... no pun intended.
