MARIONETTE PATTERN
Print at 100% scale on A3 or 11 x 17 paper. (tabloid size)
This is my most recent marionette pattern, designed to be a fairly generic, but adaptable, human figure. This works great as a starting point for a male or female puppet and with a little creativity and effort you can alter this basic pattern to create any kind of humanoid creature you can imagine
MARIONETTE CONTROL
Print at 100% scale on A3 or 11 x 17 paper. (tabloid size)
This is my Version 30 Marionette Control Template. It represents the culmination of over twenty years of design and performance testing. You can use glue sticks to paste this pattern to 10mm or 3/8" birch plywood, or your choice of hardwood. I recommend cutting parts out on a bandsaw and routing a round-over on all edges for comfort.
