Kermit the frog puppet help pweeze?

[stephen murrell]

Hiya all this is my first post so hello all. Ive been wanting to make a few Muppet replica type puppets for a very long time now but just cant find any reference or patterns anywhere to get started. After a long web sertch i came across the muppet central forum and I'm hoping some one here may be able to help point me in the right direction to get started. Some of you have created fab muppets they all look super cool.
Im sure there have been many people asking for help getting started so hopfully im in the right place. ;-)

Any help would be much appreciated.

Kind regards
Steve.

Hi and welcome to MC
Loads of us here have built kermit replicas and most will say the same thing.

A web search will reveal the master replicas kermit pulled appart and each conponent traced as patterns. This is a really good start

Oh no! Kermit turned into a blue frog. That reminds of a song.

I'm a blue frog that been dreaming...

Nonono! That's a sad song!

(sighs) Any song that talks about the color blue is bluesy blues.

Cannot wait for the green color. YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!
