To Billy: No one told me that lately... but I'm glad you did!
To Jon: I have to admit that they are still amatuerish. i told in the forum that it was the first time I ever made a marionette and I still have al lot of problems. They don't walk the way I want them to walk, but then... it took me more than a year to start walking...The fun is that I enjoy surching for a result on the net and in books. And you guys on puppets and stuff make the picture compleet!

Hi guys,
I have a question: I made a leg in wood for my 2 dragons and worked on it for about 2 hours. But 1 isn't enough so I thought that I might duplicate it by making a mold. (the 4 legs would be exactly the same)
Do anyone know where I can buy rtv silicone mold making rubber online because here in Belgium it's rather expensive.
Thx Johan

I totally agree with LJ. sometimes when we're very involved with something we only see what we what to change or improve. You have produced some awesome characters. I'm sure that if you keep working at it you'll work out the bugs in th leg movement.

I am not sure you can do any better via the internet once you pay shipping and such but you can give this site a try: http://www.culinart.net/silicone.html?gclid=CLO16a7srJgCFSYMDQod8gXGnw

Hi Shawn,
thanks for the reply. Have done some research and asked some info and there are very high expenses for shipping and extreem high taxes for import from the US . Think I will stay in Belgium.
Thx again Johan

Hi friends,
I have been working on the second dragon: the father. As you can see: he's wating for his wings to be made. He is larger than the green one = the mother. On the first picture you see the son is going to be born... you can already see the head
.
