My first Bert Replica.

I made the eyes with rubber foam sheets. Made it 2 layers, then spray painted with High Gloss White paint. Had to do a few coats of that.

The picture I have posted doesn't seem right to me. I will get more later in different angles.

Psiomicron, have you replicated any other Muppets? If they are as good as your Bert I can not wait to see them.

Again I would like to thank everyone for their feedback.

I did replicate grover before a few years back. He was my first puppet ever. I couldn't find his exact fur so had to settle for something close. Also his eyes where a little sloppy which I have since corrected.

Those are the only too now till pay day. Then going to start on Elmo, and after that either Ernie or Cookie Monster, also planning to do the Yip Yip Martians.

More Pics added to Bert Replica

Ok I took 2 more shots at different angles. Bert has his coat on because I took him to Jim Henson's Fantastic World Exhibit at the local museum. Which I may add was pretty cool.

So here are the updates:

What sort of reaction did you get from the museum? Did anyone think you were stealing an exhibit!

Well at the front door they wanted to charge and entry fee for Bert...

A lot of people did some double takes, but I was still able to get out past security! HA!
