Thanks  It is one of those that while I know it happens, this build continues to test my patience.  I am getting much better though, unlike some of my earlier builds that were destroyed a few years ago.  Though, it doesn't help seeing Peter Linz's posts on FaceBook, Snook the Sloth is amazing!  I have to remind myself that this is a step towards that in the future :D  

Anyway, while my wife worked on skinning, I pulled out the foam to work on some possible fish puppets.  Decided to see if I could adapt a few Project Puppet patterns.

This is my favorite so far.  It is the fabric pattern for Borsa turned on its side, and using the darts for the mouth.  I am thinking this will make a good generic fish, that I can easily add to.

This was my first take.  I think it is the Roly skull with parts of the Mostro fabric added for the fin and tail.

I am really thinking baby shark on this one, though might be more of a slender fish.  I cut out the Glorified Sock Puppet fabric pattern out of foam, then cut it in half.  Used the GSP mouth plate as well.

This one...I don't know where I am going.  It is the skull of a pinhead pattern, glued wrong to create a wider head.  Which had me doing a custom foam mouth plate.  I am seeing some sort of catfish, but not sure how far I will take it.

I just assumed you where holding them upside down. I'm not sure either. They are correct when viewed in the gallery.

Here's a rolling telescope stand for a 15kg puppet. The telescope uses elastic bands to stay in place. It does not take much force to lift her.
