Crocodile looking for a home

Normanhurst Uniting Church Musical Society (in Sydney) has just completed a hugely successful season of "Peter Pan - A Musical Adventure" and we have a magnificent crocodile that is now looking for a home. "Tick Tock", as he is affectionately known, is approximately 3.5m long and about 60cm high. He is based on a plywood chasis fitted with castors, with a paper mache shell. The head moves sided to side and, of course, the jaws open. In our production, he was operated by two small children who lay in the body of the croc and provided motion around the stage and operated the head, but he could easily be retrofitted with remote control power and steering. If anyone is interested, please email webmaster@nucms.org for photos. Ian Wesley
