Ok my brain has been working overtime and I'm thinking now that I will recreate the famouse lamp post scene from " Singing In The Rain" with the Gene Kelly role substituted for a Marionette.

Seems like a lot of modeling but could be fun user added image

Update
I have started modeling the body of the Gene Kelly puppet.

I am not sure whether I am going to include the puppet master and therefore show the puppet set edges or do a closer view in the set so as to recreate the scene as if the puppet was a real person ...hmmm choices ..choices user added image
