Red Crab

This is a crab that I built for Puppet Up! Featuring the Henson Improv Company. He is based on a green crab that was built a while back by the very talented puppet builder Eric Englehardt. Eric is a veritable encyclopedia of puppet building knowledge. He happened to be out from New York and working in the Henson Creature Shop, at the same time I was building the crab. He gave me so many great tips and advice - I could not have built this puppet without him.

This one is cool, too...
Thanks.
Magnificent! I'm sooo jealous. :)
Awesome puppet! What materials did you use for this? A step by step on this would be WONDERFUL!
Thanks Pasha and Matt.
The crab was made from thin scott foam painted with a combination of flock glue and pigment. His head was topped with a sheet of less porous foam. I took step by step photos for my own reference, but I'm pretty sure the non-discloser I signed won't allow me to share them.
