For the comic I did a frame grab from the Muppet episodes I have on DVD. So yeah, they were photoshop 'tricks'. It is really hard to get good images of the sets and backgrounds without having several Muppets caught in the frame. I am hoping the next 2 DVDs that are coming out will have some better shots.

What is this "foam-core" of which you speak? I haven't done much construction/customizing so I am quite unfamiliar with appropriate materials. Where would I find some and what kind of specs does it come in?

Gumby:

Foamcore is kinda like two pieces of posterboard/paper glued to a 1/4" sheet of foam...so it makes a somewhat sturdy, stable surface you can cut up and build things out of. They use it a lot in architectural models, various crafty things, stuff like that. You can find it in most art supply stores, some craft stores.

I've only used it a few times--it's light, cheap, easy to use--no tools required. Great idea to use it for the stage, Lew/Teeth/whoever you are :wink:

I think Palisades might have something to say about that.

Anyway, I don't feel confident enough with my skills to actually sell these things. I am planning on having a "how to" part up by this weekend (I may get it done earlier but it depends on how much over-time I have).
