Thread: MM reaper seperatable??

Tweet

I need some ideas. I really want to do a Monstermud reaper however, I will need him to separate into 2 pieces for storage. for some reason the wife does not want him in the yard all year... sadness.

Bring it into the living room?

You thinking top/bottom, or side/side?

Pretty easy to do. Seperate it at the waist. Make sure that the top section extends down over the lower section to hide the joint. Use PVC as a connect/frame.

Yes depending on the armature you intend to use this should be pretty simple. We made our Pumpkinrot come apart in 3 pieces for easy storage; very similar to the way BeaconSamurai describes above. We have draped cheese cloth around neck joint to conceal, and the costume hides the torso/ribs and base.

1st off I love the living room idea, sadly i received the look when mentioned.
and yeah I am thinking top bottom not sides.

good thinking about the overlap to conceal the separation , I am thinking that a connector in the middle of the pvc probably best way to do this on the support frame. will let everyone know how it goes.

Ever do a two part mold with plaster bandages?

Do your reaper as you are talking with the pvc, however only cover up the reaper from the waist/ torso down. Let that harden and seal it, then rub the top 4"-5" of your dried MM material in vaseline as a release agent. Then drape your top monster mud, once this dries and has been sealed. Seperate the two halves. It could be hidden pretty well if done correctly.
