I thought it was pretty great too, although I'm not that much of a fan of disco...

Looks like Madonna borrowed that idea for her 1990 MTV Video Awards performance!

Sorry for the dearth of posts by Dearth... I'm in a cast at the moment and also having computer problems.
But I have been tinkering on lots of new Muppet ideas. http://threads.rebelscum.com/imagepo...mageheight=558 Stay tuned! DN Last edited by Dearth : 10-25-2009 at 07:39 PM. |

Very cool stuff! Thanks for the ideas!
I have a bid on that same piano, it's a shame that it's too short. I planned on getting/making a bench for him to sit on so it might not be too bad. |

Not very involved customs, but they're new...
http://threads.rebelscum.com/imagepo...mageheight=519 Fozzie's cousin (right) sports a bowler made of Sculpey and an imbedded craft magnet. And I made a regular Beaker with interchangeable heads: http://threads.rebelscum.com/imagepo...mageheight=502 http://threads.rebelscum.com/imagepo...mageheight=446 Plus a modifed head where the hair is removable: http://threads.rebelscum.com/imagepo...mageheight=468 New diorama to follow...

Movie Usher Scooter was pretty scene-specific, so I wanted to do something with Chef and Lew to showcase him.
I grabbed some frames from the film and pasted them together to see how the set looked: http://threads.rebelscum.com/imagepo...mageheight=284 That partial poster in the background intrigued me. I Googled the name Hurd Hatfield and discovered a match called Chinatown at Midnight: http://threads.rebelscum.com/imagepo...mageheight=395 I had to resize the top of one 'Attack of the Killer Fish' posters and paste it onto the larger one, so that's why it's a little blurrier at the top. Here are all the cut-and-pasted elements that I printed for the dio: http://threads.rebelscum.com/imagepo...mageheight=425 So here's the simplified version of the movie environment: http://threads.rebelscum.com/imagepo...mageheight=408 Some closer shots: http://threads.rebelscum.com/imagepo...mageheight=522 http://threads.rebelscum.com/imagepo...mageheight=513 Dearth |

Dearth,
These continue to impress. I gotta ask, what do you do with all of your diaramas? Have you got them all on display? Or do you set them up for pictures then put them in storage?

Those are fantastic Dearth!
I was on the team that worked on Usher Scooter and really wanted to get that Killer Fish poster included - even if it had to be printed on the box itself, but it didn't make the cut. There was no source for it and redrawing it up to Palisades' snuff would have taken too much time. Back then I thought they could have made some use of the box in printing quality diorama graphics (like posters and such) on sections of the box's slip-sheet. I think there was some licensor rule preventing that. Anyway, great job! ![]()

That's one of the reasons that I design some of my dioramas to fold up flat, for ease of storage. Quote:
Yeah, the image that I cut-and-pasted and printed isn't complete at the bottom. You can see some of the movie's on-set props in its foreground, like the upside-down popcorn containers and candy boxes. You can even see a bit of the sleeve of the Chef puppet from one frame. But I knew that I would be posing the Chef action figure in front of it, so I didn't bother trying to creatively paint that stuff out. When I also decided to make the smaller poster, I just cropped it differently, right above the popcorn boxes. DN |

I was more of a freelancer for Palisades. I got to work in beautiful San Francisco while emailing my work to Ken on the east coast.
![]() Your Muppet Labs is also wonderful! I tried to do that too. Mixed some old with the new a while back. It's all lost now, but it was a fun little project. Man, do I miss seeing all these cool customs.
