The new Sammy!

I mentioned that I was redoing Sammy because he was the very first 

professional puppet that I did and I thought he looked so plain! Here he is now! He has eye lids and some flesh color to him and some freckles! I think it makes him look so much younger!

Brainy red villain!

I've been working hard on the puppets! Here is the brainy red villain without his iris in the eyeball or his suit and body! It will probably be tomorrow before he is on eBay but he will be there! He's definitely an original!

Troubles!

Well another problem happened while I was working on the red villain; every time I tried to put a brass rod to move the eyes it wouldn't work! I decided to go route #2 and put the pull strings to move the eyes left and right! It's still self centering but only with strings instead of a brass rid now! I see a lot of puppets made this way these days.

Slowly getting done!

I started a new job but its only working on the weekends. I didn't get to work on the puppets very much here lately but here is the red villain! As you can see its most of the way done now, I just have to wait for the magic sculpt to dry and seal the hand control stick to the head then I can hook up all the inner mechanics in the head and paint and he's done then! Not sure how I'm going to do the hands rather like gloves or hands!

Slow

I hope every body had a safe and happy 4th of July celebration yesterday! I stayed away from the shop the whole day and spent time with family, today I slept in late but now I'm back in the shop and trying to get these 3 puppets done! Hopefully I will get to magic sculpt their eyes in and mouths and get to painting tomorrow so they get done and on eBay by Saturday or Sunday at the latest if there is no sit backs! There have been plenty of set backs so let's hope for no more! 

Sammy is being remade!

Sammy was the first professional puppet I ever did, so I decided to change him a little and make a little better hopefully! I've decided that he needed a set of eye lids to change him! Let me know what you think!

Working

I tried to work as much as I could today on the puppets but really only got Sammy's eyes fitted and put on the stand for the eyes but not finished and put in. I also got the hand stick finished fit the red villain and his eyeballs started also. I got to go job hunting in the morning and then will come home and work some more on getting at least them two their eyes and mouth magic sculpted in and get ready for the painting.
