Thank you June!  I couldn't believe how well Skippy turned out in the end.  During the making process I thought - this is never going to work, looks more like a dinosaur.  But when I put his ears on, he magically transformed into a Roo.

Thank you both!  It was fun, in spite of the constant interruptions from people that think I do nothing all day long haha, and the incredibly hot weather (yes, hot weather in England!)
