Ok, I will bite. Why do you call him preacher?

[krough]

I am creating a static scene in my yard, he is the preacher of sorts, he will be preaching out of an old tome to a congregation of freaks.
Either that or, I wanted to build a funeral procession carrying a smallish coffin, and he would be the official doing the burial rights.
I cant decide

very nice one!!!....how are you making the horns and such? are you using an armature, or something as a base?...it looks great.

I took a cardboard paper towel tube and bent it, I then taped this to the back of the skull with clear packing tape. I then made some horn shapes out of rolled newspaper covered in tape. I then inserted some copper ground wire in the horns so I could shape them into a curve, and then put them in the ends of the tube and taped it all together. I think there is 2 full layers of paper towel mache on that thing. Most of the mache is painted with ultra flat paint, the horns though I used gloss enamel.

Very nice Krough, as a fellow mache' enthusiast, I'm happy to see people using the method.

That was a good idea for the tube.
