For some reason, I am DYING to make an acceptable replica of Kermit. I have made them in the past but there was always something off about them. After learning from my own builds and searching the web for ideas, I think I have stumbled on the perfect technique. I began the build today. I am going to take my time and hopefully end up with a flawless replica. Here is my progress so far:
Looks great! How you know the sizes of each part and what are the eyes made of?

The eyes are just ping pong balls with the inside spray painted white to take away from the opaque look of the plastic. As for the pattern, there is no real accurate pattern out there so you have to kinda wing it. It takes a couple of tries to get the right measurements so that the neck is long enough and the dimples form correctly. I actually changed the mouth plate quite a bit after this picture was taken. I made the ends more pointy and made the mouth plate smaller.
