Scary Head Building

[ScareShack]

Ok...I got a lot of e-mails on how i made this head.

So I figured I will do a how to on how to make one for around 20 bucks.

First I will be using a stryo. wig head an a slip appliance. I get my Appliances from BodyBag Entertainment. The detail in these peices are perfect for painting especially when it comes to drybrushing, highlighting, airbrushing and so much more. For this Head we will use a Bo appliance from http://www.bodybagging.com

OK. Step one.....get some pins...i prefer broken paper clips.... put the applaince over the wighead, whilie steching it over it, fell free to add wadded up toweling behind it if u need to to keep structure of face..ex..nose, etc.
Now pin the appliance onto wighead. Once pinned on i use latex to smooth out the edges, if using latex, heat it with a blow dryer and rub it down quick for a nice transition on to head. U can also use glue for this.
Once this is complete, aboyt 5 minutes from when u start...you will have something that looks like this.

I'm wondering what the different effects would be on your head there with a dif wig and hat...
a new prop every day haha

[ScareShack]

Lilly..yes i will finish painting it...i couldnt find the hat i wanted...so ill post that pic once i find it

[Fangs]

do you have to seal it with anything then Johnny? :D

[ScareShack]

fangs...no you dont have to seal it if u paint it, unless u want to, thats ok too.

[turtle2778]

i like that hat johnny it reminds me of a scarecrow...a little less red and white and a little more brown and blacks and it would make an excellent scarecrow. Great job. I even like that one. I didnt wanna puke after looking at it soo GREAT JOB:D

[ScareShack]

thank you turtle

[MacabreManor]

Scare shack, you should post some cost figures so we can see how much you're saving. Looks great though!

[Gothic Nightmare]
