The eye blink is a mechanism that has been discussed many times on this forum. Try the "search function." Basically his eyes are rigged so that when you press a lever the eyelids roll back. Puppet Planet has a picture tutorial about these mechs. As for the nose, I think it was carved and then flocked. For some inspiration go to http://www.angelfire.com/jazz/puppets/. He has made some wonderful Muppet replicas.

Hope this helps,

Jason

There are lots of old threads dealing with making a Gonzo. Use the search feature to search the puppetry forum for "Gonzo" or "Gonzo puppet".
