Hello folks,
It's that time again where I embark on an ambitious Muppet replica, this time however it'll be a little different, as the Replica is only part of what I am hoping to achieve.
Instead, I will be making and dressing my favourite Muppet of all time: The Great Gonzo.
I'm hoping to combine his yellow and black checkerboard suit with his iconic chilli pepper shirt and his circular patterned tie. I've attached a couple of reference images to show the pieces I'll be merging together to create what I hope will be a stylish outfit for Gonzo.
As well as this, of course, I will be creating my very own Gonzo using carved reticulated foam for his head and attaching this to the base of the body to allow for good movement when he's being operated. I won't be including his eyelid mechanism in this version but his head will be detachable via metal snaps so if in future I can figure that out for an upgrade then I'll be able to switch it out.
This week I will be drafting up a toile for his suit and shirt and I'll be posting updates as I do.
Stay tuned!
