Trick R' Treat Armature finished.

So this is a pretty basic armature. 

The skeleton is just PVC.

The costume is all stuffed with poly fill.

The head I decided to make the hard way I guess. 

Basically I applied Papier-mâché to a dummy head you can buy at Sally's.

I then covered that in Duct Tape. 

Once dry, I peeled the whole thing of the head in section, taped it all back together, and poly filled it.

I once again applied Papier-mâché, over the front

Finally I painted the front with an airbrush and then detailed it with a paint brush.

And added to dummy.

So there you have it. One of the 4 Trick R' Treaters that will be dancing around the soul tree (or giant pumpkin if I get to it).

Work Begins

Here is the start of the paper Skeleton I hope I will be able to use in the tree this year. It's tricky because he is basically made of card stock. But it's all paper and glue anyway... so we'll see. I guess, if I have to, I can replace the head. If it works though it may be a lighter, more economical way to make trees.
