Hey all,

I just wanted to let those of you who are interested in knowing, that I am slowly but surely working on puppets for Chimp TV. You can see my latest addition on my blog. His name is BIG MANE.

Enjoy!

Sounds cool to see. Let's head it on!

Announcer: In this corner weighting at 400 pounds is a powerful big ape named Mane who could crush anythings....even a head of a person. And in this corner weighting at a mear pounds of 60 pounds is the one and only drummer who could tear a cymbal in two is Animal.

Man #1: Kind of weird to hear one who is an animal and one who's name is Animal.

Man #2: *looks at Man #1* Whatever dude.

Hey papapuppet,

Thanks. I don't have any video on the brow mech, but you will be seeing lots once I start shooting video with Big Mane in it.

I actually didn't document how I made the mech. But as I have stated in my blog, I used the very same illustration that is here in the forum. It is just a matter of tweaking it depending on the puppet.

I have just been hired to build a custom puppet with another eye mech. I will make a point of documenting the process and posting it on my blog. How does that sound?

Hey BabyScooter and Erine81981, I'm not sure that Big Mane would even be interested in wrestling. He really is a gentle soul. But it would make a very interesting contest indeed.

I don't usually sell stuff that I have already build, but I do custom work. That's what my company is for.:smile:
