Hello there, I've just joined this form after many weeks of browsing around and have found people who are kind and filled with muppet information! lol.
I love the Muppets, have done for many number of years, but my requent watching got subdued due to a fanscination with another television programme "Doctor Who" but slowly and surely I am coming back to the Muppets.
Though my main focus for posting in the Puppetry forum is, of course, about puppetry and puppet building in general. I noticed alot of people have made replica Muppets but all the links I found didn't work at all! Maybe there should be a gallery for all these replica muppets.
Really liked Pdbooch's go at Gonzo, but I think bezalel's one was much closer.... I think the neck is alittle wide too. There's mention of someone doing a Beaker, but alas those links don't work! I'd really like to see a Beaker replica... tried one in the past... didnt get as far as buying the felt.
Now, I want to make puppets but I am a complete beginner with it all, so do bear stupidity and silly questions. I am looking at making a puppet of myself for a short film I have in mind. I watched that episode of "Angel" called "Smile Time" and I am going to base it around that style of human puppet/muppet. Anyone got any ideas? Any recommendations for materials? Any doubts about this being the wrong way to start? Anything! I want to know!
I hope to get to know each and everyone of you, you all sound so nice! lol. And I look forward to showing and displaying any puppets I may or may not build!
Thanks,
David.
