Puppet Making - Thunderbirds' Parker

[Confessional]

It's absolutely awesome you are carrying this tradition forward and your work is excellent and inspiring. Thanks for sharing!

That to me is art, and you are Picaso.
Magnificent!

[Bantha5]

Impressive, most impressive.

[Captain Big Trousers]

lol. Thanks.

Factoid: I used as many original bits as I could on the TB1 pilot's chair. The grilles on the front are from two Revell Custom Car Parts sets, the seatbelts are 1960s bicycle clips, and the red knobby things on the sides are 60's car indicator stalks (tricky to find!).

Holy crap...in...flippin ...credible !!!

I have no words. Wait...yes I do! WOW!!

These go to 11 on the coolness scale.

[Captain Big Trousers]

Cheers. It's been over a year since I updated the thread. Made and sold a few puppets. Added Alan, Tin-Tin and Jeff to my own collection.

[rche]

beautiful puppets.

[Werewolf]

Woah, that's insane. Talk about accurate. They look just like the actual props.

[HardyGirl]

WOWSERS! That's just beyond cool! I can't believe how talented you are! *bows down* I'm not worthy!

I'm making a better version soon (well, two actually, with real mink coats and a better head cast).

Here we are. Vintage mink. Working eyes.










I also made Brains.

Thats some really nice work. I keep staring at the pics in awe.

[palitoy]

You are a craftsman sir.

Next, an in scale Fab-1

I'm going to be making a Parker and Penelope for someone with a full scale FAB1.

Haven't updated this for a while. I revamped Lady P...



.. and sold her. I'm making a better version soon (well, two actually, with real mink coats and a better head cast).

I've made Scott and the TB1 pilot's chair, but I'm redoing bits of those, so I'll post pics once that's sorted. I made another head for my butler Parker...



... so he now has working eyes.

I've just finished this Parker...



... with a better head cast (a cast I alone have. muahaha) and he'll be heading to eBay as soon as I find a box long enough to ship him in.

Next are two Lady Penelopes, two Tin Tins, another Parker and one and a half Scotts.
