[QUOTE="KOMakesThings, post: 5176025, member: 192126"] Initially my plan was to start with Robin and get a feel for how his construction is before moving onto Kermit, but then I had the thought "Well, how do I make sure he's to scale with Kermit?". So here I am testing out Kermit's pattern with some felt to give me a reference point. Even with the wrong material/poor glue job his head is looking pretty good so far! I'm really excited to get the correct fleece to see how that looks. I went with a 3 1/4 mouth plate, I've been told I have small hands even for a woman so I figured the smaller size would work better for me. I do feel like I could possibly scale everything down a bit smaller, the stiffer felt kinda hides it but there's definitely a bit of room in the head right now (Not so much on the sides but vertically, curse my stubby fingers). I recall reading somewhere (Maybe even this thread) that Jim Henson had larger hands and that when Kermit was performed by someone other than Jim they would wear gloves while puppeteering to fill out the head. I'm thinking I may do that instead of sizing things down to fit me specifically as I do like the current scale. [ATTACH type="full"]1434752[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]1434753[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]1434754[/ATTACH] Ecl if you don't mind answering another question about your Robin build, can I ask approximately how much smaller Robin's head is to Kermit? Based on the pictures I'm pretty sure Robin's eyes are a smaller dome size (30 mm?) so I'm assuming it's at least 15% or so? [/QUOTE]
