Thread: Skulls

Tweet

I've made 2 groundbreakers using the bucky skulls and found them wanting. One - They are too heavy and Two - The teeth are too perfect.
I've seen on various sites skulls with more realistic teeth.
My question is - where do I find these??? Are people making them?
I want my groundbreaker's teeth to look irregular and wonderfully horrible.

Help!

I'd guess most folks are taking out the Bucky teeth & altering them or creating new ones all together.

My ground breaker / grave escape has a Blucky head I added some mache to:



Regular lighting and with flash.

I want super realistic bad teeth! lol This is the groundbreaker I've almost finished.







I wish her teeth were chipped and crooked and imperfect.

Eyegore is doing a group buy for solid styrofoam skulls soon ($1.00 each + shipping). These are lightweight and easy to alter.

ok....so if people are altering their skulls....how are they doing it? What are they doing to remove teeth and what are they using to replace them?

Theres nothing a hammer and some black nail polish cant fix on those perfect smiles they seem to have.
We had a box of them come in the shop one year and I handed one of the guys a hammer and pitched him nail polish and let him go to town, seriously, works like a charm.

clay works nicely for sculpting spooky teeth if you can manage it. fake nails work well too

Yep, try Super Sculpey to make some teeth. Just bake them to harden, and glue 'em in!

An Ebay search will yield nice quality resin teeth (used for denture making), but you gotta fork out the dough! You just glue those in as well, or, mold them and make copies...

Try using hot glue for teeth. I made a small mold that makes three different types (incisors, molars, cuspids) and is easy to make and use. Squirt in the hot glue, let it cool (ice water dunk) and pop out the tooth. I use nail polish for coloring the teeth. I use a Skillcraft skull as a mold for making mache heads for groundbreakers. Here's an example of a mache skull, no teeth in this one, though.
