Thread: Torso prop help

Tweet

I have a 6½ ft. foam skeleton from Menard's that I have had for about three years. One of the leg joints is broken. Rather than to attempt to repair it , I have decided to put a partial skin on the upper part and use it for a crawling torso zombie prop. I have seen props made this way at the Spirit store. How do I make a realistic tight fitting partial skin that will let some rib bones and some of the skull show? I am going for the cadaver look.

Paper towel mache is one way, but I think that after continuous use the skin may fall off. You may also want to try cotton and latex corpsing techniques.

I have seen that a lot of people use pantyhose and latex to corpse skeletons.

I have never done one my self.

Look at my undead monkey.... its a skeleton with latex and paper towels over it in places....
