Mike Mercury Replica Puppet

For those who have been viewing Mikemercury.net from the beginning you will have noticed that in the cabinet that was featured on the home

page, there stood a naked

Mike Mercury replica puppet.

I built Mike over 2 years ago and he has been waiting for a costume to wear ever since.

One or two people offered to have a go at making him a suit but no one actually did,

step forward Angela.......

[maybe with a slight shove

from Rob]

......jigsaw puzzle wizard

and someone who was up

for a challenge.

After a little over a week Mike finally got his new clothes and what a fine outfit it is.

The pictures from top to bottom cover the tailoring of the puppet

and show the various stages

starting with his trousers and ending with the fully clothed Mike Mercury.

Many hours and much red wine went into the making of

Mikes uniform and he really

does look fantastic.

Mike's T-shirt is made from a trainer or sneaker sock, "and I will get you another Rob as soon as I find a shop that sells them in one's Ha! ha!"

Building a replica puppet is an experience that I would

recommend. For those of us who grew up

watching our puppet hero's saving the World week in

week out, then it is a must. Ebay has a glut of head

casts for sale every week and believe me once your

puppet is finished you will treasure it as though it is

the real thing.
