Thats all...Opus you make me think you kind of a baby, no offence

Well Thom, what is "babyish" about showing my artwork I've made from junk and stuff I've found at second hand stores? So Jim Henderson is a baby? He made the muppets that both adults and kids love. I'm not offended, as I do kid around with my friends, when I drive the cattle truck to California and back. Always have a good time laughing when I goof around. In fact the puppet with the hat on, is a parody of the other driver I drive with. He's 25 with a big head (overconfident), so I made a big head trucker puppet that looks like him who can hang on to the steering wheel or even the shifter when messing around.

Oh and by the way, adults make ventriloquist dummies, not 5 year olds.

As I said, I have a lot of other hobbies, and a lot of irons in the fire. But I have photos readily available to show the dummies I made. I like to invent things or make improvements to existing inventions that I'm not sharing here in a public nor private forum on the net.

But hey, I wouldn't mind being young again, as long as I keep the life experiences I have now.

This thread sounds like a thread which is gonna get ugly

@ thom, no worries. Just pointing out some things I felt that needed to be said.

@ Ceo, you are still a stinker. Considering the fact, since I am the part timer, team cow truck driver. I get to dress up in overalls and rubber boots and hose out the slurry of cow poop and pee, in the trailer, with a firehose, when the cows have been delivered.

@ jan The puppets are used in the public library to entertain the kids once a week. They are borrowed and sometimes donated to help out the community. Sometimes I make private, instructional videos on how to make them. I mostly use cardboard. The puppets normally cost 2 to 12 dollars to make and take 5 to 40 hours to build.

Toy stores like Toys R Us, are great for nabbing bike boxes. They are double thick and very sturdy. Great for making bases for prop sets. Kinda like a stage made of wood, but made of cardboard instead. I also own a cardboard carpentry workbook, which helps me out if I forget something.

The toys I've made were for Toys 4 Tots program for the Christmas of 2007 and 2008. Mostly old war planes or bi planes.

Dumb guy with spikes diving from the stage. It was Colonna Infame Skinhead's reunion show, maybe the biggest event of the year. Lots of people, beer flowing, fun and chaos.

40 hours takes in account that some of them have liquid latex poured over them for skin and that's including the cure time. I do use foam sheeting I get super cheap at Wal Mart as well. The latex peels off for a scaley effect like it did on the dinosaur. The alien also has latex on it to give it a flakey complexion. Paint also takes time to dry as well. I will wait an hour between coats normally. Another thing to factor in, each one is unique and I have to make sure each part fits well or the puppet doesn't work right. I also make patterns of the parts I make in case someone wants the same puppet. So having to log the construction slows ya down too.

I mostly use hot glue to assemble them, so in the summer, it's not too healthy for the puppets. lol

Skinhead, as in the racist group, or is it something else?

Don't take this as an insult, I know it's not on purpose, and lots of people think like you. Try looking around a bit more, because ignorance is bad. Racist skinheads CAN'T exist. We call them Boneheads, because they aren't skinheads. Skinhead culture has roots in the working class of England and in reggae and ska music, both played mostly by Jamaican black people, so you see by yourself that a racist skinhead is itself a contraddiction. They stole skinheads dressing and cropped hair, nothing more. Skinheads are born apolitical, and antiracist.

Actually Jan, the vernacular for the word Skinhead is synonymous with racist here in America. This is why I asked if it was something else. What you described, is what Americans call a SHARP, an acronym for (Skinheads Against Racial Prejudice).

Unfortunately, when I was a young lad, age 19 (1988), one day my roommate comes home shaved bald, wearing Doc Martin boots, a leather jacket, and a vinyl album by a British racist band called Screwdriver. Not a good experience. Since I'm half Sicilian, his skinhead friends thought I was either American Indian (which they call Half-Jews, a mormon taught thing because mormons actually believe Ameircan Indians are the lost tribe of Israel) or Hispanic (Mexican in particular). I faced a very real danger of being killed. I received a lot of death threats by phone or notes stuck to my door.

Thankfully, I also had a lot of punk friends, who were concerned for my safety, so they got me out of the situation. Anyways, that's why I asked. Even if he had said yes, the worse I would have done would be to ignore him.

Didn't catch the fact that you were american before. In fact, I knew that americans think skins are those scum, and I know that you'v got problems with them that make our knife scars something to laugh about (boneheads in Rome actually take antiracists and knife them in the butt, hurts a bit but doesn't kill). Well at least you know sharp. In Italy people don't even know about us (from sharp, I'm part of the sharp in fact), or the rash, or the so called "originals", the skins that recall the 60's british style. If you walk around with boots and a bomber then you're a skinhead, and nazi. That's why I say, ignorance is bad. People hate us without understanding that what they know, what they read on the news and seen on tv is all crap. And, most of them don't WANT to know.

Anyway, hobby I forgot to write about: cosplaying. It's fun, like being an actor but more immersive.

Well I'm bald, but not by choice.
