I bet !.......... If you have to take a break leave one of the dragons and a lighter at the door. LoL How long will it take?

How long will it take?

Hi Billy, I don't know, but I let them fly over. Hopefully will go faster than by ship. Hope they don't send it by seagull.

mine has not worked out cos im using foam its got no wait to it im now thinking that the only way of doing it would be to use a small type of litter picker and operate the mouth the only problem i have with that is that the puppets on strings

Hi John,

maybe you could post some pictures. Perhaps we can figure something out.

What about adding some weight to the lower mouth part to help it open and close on it's own?

I am a little confused about what you are asking......but if it is a weight problem then it seems to be easy to solve.

Others may have suggestions as well who make marionette's with moving mouths.

i done it i used lego out of all things i will post photos later. the mouth is weighted by 20 two pence's good old English money and the mouth is operated by a stick that is connected to the lego  it works perfectly.
