He looks really good ... and his 'story' is amazing!

This is probably the most well researched first build I've seen, I've learnt stuff and he looks great. Thanks for the patterns!

Marvelous!

Thanks for the suggestions!

 Thanks for the patterns.I'm going to give the tongue and throat a go on my little guy.

Wow that was the first puppet pattern I ever used many years ago.  People have asked me for it but I was afraid to give it out since it was not my original.  Now I can send them to the posted pattern.  Thanks so much for sharing that.
