After I built the Armatures, I used the clip-foaming technique to pad out the body. This means that I will not have to make the body out of silicon, making the puppet cheaper to make and lighter and easier to move. Clip-foaming consists of cutting sponge (that you can buy from wilkos for really cheap) into shapes that are roughly the size and shape of the characters limbs and then using nail scissors to carefully clip the sponge into the shape of the character. This can then be covered in clothes and silicon and hidden from sight.
