Hi Excellent Job You Made.Iam making A Scott From Thunderbirds Have Finished The Head But Havent A Clue on How To Do The Hair, Can You Tell Me What You Did. Regards Steve

Hi Steve, Cut mohair into approximately two-inch lengths, lay it into bands of wet pva glue on glass, the pva in the middle of each length. Allow to dry, then remove by scraping with a sharp blade. Cut down the middle of the pva. Trim back the pva to the minimum needed to hold the mohair together, then cut into small tufts. Apply to the head (starting at the back and working forward) with pva making sure that the hair is laying in the correct direction. Cut and style it. Good luck! Duncan

It's wonderful to watch this!!! I feel like a kid again!!!

Where did you obtain the puppet?

Hi DrSonrisas

Glad you like my replica Phones.

The plain resin parts for the puppet came from eBay (sellers dazscarlet or powerlee can supply) and I scratch-built the injector seat and costume.

Best wishes,

Duncan.

Hi Brutaltruth, I'm sorry to hear that you don't like my work. However, I never intended that this clip should be a piece of entertainment, rather I wanted to show in my clumsy un-edited way what anyone who likes the old Gerry Anderson puppet shows can make for themselves from scratch and readily-available casts from original puppets.

Best wishes,

Duncan.

Phones was my favourite. I loved his South Carolina accent.
