Thread: Ahoy, Pirate!!

Say hello to my new pirate! I just finished this today. He's a PVC framed static pirate that I plan on putting on a rocking chair and maybe animating the chair to have him rock. I'm pretty happy with how he turned out:

WOW! That's great.

Where did you get the appendages?

i like very much , nice job , have yo tought of giving him some hair on his legs and arms and dirty him up a bit ? again great job looks better then the expensive props sold in stores

Very professional! Straight out of Pirates of the Caribbean. Where did you get those great arms and legs?

Thanks for the kind words. I got the appendages from Spencers last November during their Halloween prop clearance. They're Don Post foam-filled latex severed limbs. I have a left foot too, but it's just a foot, no calf, so I need to come up with a way to cover the frame. Right now I'm using a boot cover that came with the costume, and I'm not totally thrilled with how that looks. Maybe a peg leg would be better?

I'd love to add some leg and arm hair, just not sure if I have the patience for it. He definitely could use some dirtying up though!

Forget the foot, give him a peg leg!

i agree peg leg and i totally agree about the long hours gluing hair lol i didnt think about that at first but yep thats one big contract lol

again awsome job he looks terrific

I also agree. I think a peg leg would be a good idea.

Ok, peg leg it is!!

i'll say it again he looks great aaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggg hehehehe

he still needs some leg hair and dirt and ps i found a suggestion for applying your leg hair , use spray glue( cut some short hair in advance) and maybe sprinkle the hair once the glue is applied where you want hair ? that way it is fast and you get hair only where you want some (doesnt need to be spray glue but a thin coat of brushed on glue where you want hair) or you can roll the leg in the hair and they will stick to where their is glue and you brush down the exces hair off ? would suggest a trial out on something else before doing it on the pirates body part doh ....
