OK everyone, this is another on of my favorite projects. It is a custom miniature Muppet Theatre Backstage Playset. This one is actually a kit bash (Alteration) of the Palisades Toy Muppet Show backstage Playset which I did not think was acurate enough. I have added a bunch of cool new aspects to it! Check it out!!
All the miniature supplies purchased at Ross's Miniature Treasure House in North Vancouver, British Columbia,Canada
 |
| Here is the original Muppet Theatre Backstage Playset created by Palisades. |
 |
| My version of the Muppet Show Backstage Playset, before details and lighting were done |
 |
| I added height, and arches. Everything from the light piping UP is new. |
 |
| I also completed the wall above Kermit's intercom, and added additional trim |
 |
| The completed Playset, including real lighting and front cover |
 |
The arches are custom cut from illustration board
|
 |
| The added height allowed me to have a little fun in hanging props. |
 |
| This post is actually bare wood in the show, so i didnt paint it. | |
|
 |
| Sometimes its easier to hang props with putty and not pegs |
 |
| Beauregard is always getting in the way!! He's just trying to help. |
 |
| The shelves above kermits desk did not exist in the show, but I think it works. |
 |
| Great place for a cat to sleep |
 |
| Details and placement are as important as the design |
 |
| Side view from on stage. I added a custom made ladder which is removable. |
 |
| I added posters to cover up the wall. Then I aged it a bit. |
 |
| Characters add life! |
 |
| I believe this playset pays respect to the memory of the show and the quality of Palisades |
 |
| Here is Both Playsets together including the scratch built Muppet Theatre Playset which is in the next blog. |
Thank you again for checking out my work. I will be posting another blog where I show the whole process of building this playset. This has been a project of passion and another step towards my goals to work in the entertainment industry. Please check out the next blog where I will be revealing my scratch built Muppet Show Theatre Playset.
Thanks, BYE!!
