Frog puppet - maybe?

[Muppetlab]

Hey guys.. Just wandering where i would stand with this one!
As some of you may know, ive been on a misssion to build myself a Kermit replica. Ive now fulfilled my goal and am happy with my final result.
Problem is.. I now have a number of first attempts lying around gathering dust!

Think you know where im going with this -

My options -
1) Sell to recoupe some expenses
2) keep - but really dont jave anywhere to keep them.
3) throw in the trash!

Will i be critisised for advertising one for sale? Its worth noting that i wont be selling for profit if i do and it in no way would it be part of any business selling knock off's..

Just seems a shame to bin them :-(

well, if you decide to throw them in the trash, you can always give me one lol. I would definitely buy one if I had the money, but sadly, I don't at the moment.

He looks brilliant, good job!
May I ask you how you made his eyes?

The eyes on my new one are 35mm plastic dome eyes. The pupil was made by printing a pictire of kermits eyes.. Resizing them to match my 35mm eyes and sticking some black tape on the picture behind the pupils and cutting them out, peeling the tape off and placing it to my eyes..

Hope that helps..

My first attempts were just polystyrene balls cut in half and the pupil drawn on with sharpie haha.. Very crude

Thanks so much for the detailed reply.
I've decided I'm going to attempt to try and build one.

Trying to get my head around the process.
It's hard to know where to start.

Your pictures on Flickr have been very helpful thank you.
