One of the great side benefits of making vent figures (and blogging about it) is meeting people online that I'd likely never meet in person. Such is the case with Imre Gelei from Hungary. He sent me an email with several photos of a figure he built. He carved the figure in styrofoam, then covered it with papermache and toilet paper. He used foam pipe insulation for his arms and legs, and round styrofoam balls at the joints. Using tips from reading blogs, he built the mechanics. His resourcefulness paid off as he built a very durable and expressive vent figure. He named it "Professor Otto".
