But to be honest with everyone I had never built any thing like it before most of my puppets are either hand and rod or live hands

its a big step to take, I finnished a large puppet not that long ago and in all honesty its trial an error. I did heaps of reasearch on the net including these forums and google to get a rough idea on what i wanted, then it went down on papper... pages apon pages on concept ideas untill i found one i liked, then i hit the stores i was lucky and got apolstry foam discounted and long shagpile fur fo next to nothing. I then airbrushed my characters face sure there are lots of bugs to work out but thats the experience in its own form i learned alot from it.
