Trials day for the new Juliet! The glossiest Segnosaurus puppet you ever did see 🤩
The upgrades for this Juliet include…
- New coat with a change of fur, hand-cut stripes and a more sophisticated blend technique between fur and zote on the head
- New shoulder mechanism to make her arms easier to remove, and a new rotation system that uses square bar to centralise the movement and increase the longevity of the mechanism
- Moved from linkages to geared wrists for a smoother action
- New endoscope camera system with custom 3D printed cradle
- Increased range of motion in her legs so she can really REACH for those leaves!

This was a well kept secret - a surprise for Ma’s 70th year shared with lovely people. Salzburg is a strong recommend. I hand sewed those pouches cos I ordered the wrong size of curtain material 🤣
There’s gonna be a new Juliet in town!
Our favourite Segnosaurus is getting an upgrade… Listen to Chuck talk through the before and of making the new Jules and stay tuned for the final dino look 👀

Kevin is home alone over Christmas! And he’s ready to defend himself against any burglars that come across the Unit 9 workshop 🎄

Introducing our new Coops Courier service! Juliet had a break on one of her feet during rehearsals for Dinosaur World Live so we sorted out a fix and got her back in action at 3 Mills pronto. We don’t usually deliver puppet parts in an IKEA bag... but sometimes, needs must. 🚗
Come along for the ride!

How do you see on stage when you’re inside a puppet? 🤔
With these dinos there’s a camera on the outside of the puppet and a screen on the inside, so that when you put the puppet head on (Juliet looks quite bizarre here without hers on…) and can’t see with your own eyes, you can see with the camera! 📷
Shoutout to Coops who managed to film this with one hand and operate the puppet with the other, no mean feat 🤩

Did you know there are two sets of puppets for Dinosaur World Live, set A and set B, which are used for different tours? We’ve recently had set B in the workshop for maintenance which had just been on tour in the UK. Here’s Bea the baby Triceratops (next to Brutus the big Triceratops) and a little insight into how she works. 🛠️
She’s pretty snoozy most of the time but woke up from her nap especially for this vid! 💤
