Puppet Making - Thunderbirds' Parker

[HardyGirl]

Thanks! No, these are the only two puppets I've made (so far). Well... I knocked up a Beaker muppet a few weeks ago...



... but he's just a postal tube, two ping-pong balls and some fleece. Easy. He's got a working mouth mechanism, but I wouldn't consider him a "replica". I'll leave it to Muppet afficionados to note the inconsistencies ( ), but with a total cost of $18 and 3 hours to make, he was a bit of fun.

If you knock out a Dr. Bunson Honeydew, I'll faint!

I have plans to make Crazy Harry.

That is amazingly wonderful. So who's next?

Captain Scarlet. Perhaps interestingly, it'll be cheaper to make a proper full-sized Captain Scarlet replica than to buy the 1967 Pedigree Captain Scarlet doll!

Ooh! I love Captain Scarlet! I recorded a lot of the eps years ago. But my fave Supermarination series was Stingray. I have 3 Matchbox figures from that series: Try Tempest, Marina, and Commander Shore.

I can't really express just how impressed I am with that. Unbelievably cool. Well done!

What he said.
When you said Brains was next , i was thinking how could you not do Lady P and then the great photos of her.
These really are amazing. WELL DONE!

Captain Scarlet.

How quickly plans change. Someone's going to pay me (with actual money, not biscuits or anything) to paint and wig a Scott Tracy head for them, so two birds - one stone, I'll make myself a Scott Tracy at the same time.

Then Captain Scarlet.

That is beyond superior! So glad we got to see this!
