What an amazon job! What did you use for the mouth plate? I've looked everywhere in the UK for some gasket rubber and so far no luck!
It happens the same here in Argentina. I think I could try with some non-slip mats, but I'm not sure about their thickness, and they surely would not be as cheap as buying the material.

Does anyone really know how tall is Kermit now or the real sizes of his head, mouth, arms? I want to try building my own Kermit Muppet but I'm not sure about those things. Thanks everyone!

My quest for the perfect replica led me to ANOTHER rebuild of the very first puppet i ever built. And here he is. He will be my last rebuild i think!

Some areas i inproved from my last kermit were colour, eye focus, mouth shape and i made his body a bit rounder.
Hope you like him :smile:
What stitch do u use? I'm thinking of using a whipstitch or the Henson stitch if I ever get it down

He looks fantastic! Do you know the sizes for the head and body or they're just calculated from photos?
