Thread: Some prop pictures we have done so far

Tweet

Figured I'd try to post a few pictures of what we have worked on so far for our yearly Haunted House that we do for our fire department.
I hate it that I copied this one tombstone idea, I normally will get ideas from others, but then will do something different.
I don't remember the site that offered a great tutorial on this tombstone, but can probably find it if someone needs it.

The "stone" itself is made from styrofoam from lowes, monster mudded. I engraved and grinded on it using a dremel and a regular grinder.
The woman is made using a bag of bones skeleton from big lots. It's put together and attached to the stone using screws and glue from a glue gun. Then I got some $1.00/yard material from Wal Mart and monster mudded it and layed it across her. Her back does have some fiberglassing done to add support for the monster mud material. Her wig is a $6.00 one from Wal Mart dipped in monster mud.


Grim Reaper isn't done yet. He's made using a pvc frame, and old skull we had laying around, then the same $1/yd material dipped in monster mud. He will be painted hopefully in the next few days. I just decided to paint him after as my dad has tons of black spray paint, but we had no black paint to mix with the mud. He will end holding a blade and possibly a light of some type.


I corpsed a blucky, but don't have many good pictures of him yet. He turned out really well, but the pics I do have don't do it justice. He was corpsed using toilet paper dipped in latex paint, then stained.


We do have one animated prop done, but I have no pictures of it yet. Basically a guy in a bag that is suffocating.
Have the base built for a coffin jumper, but nothing to jump out yet. I have other tombstones done and part of a fence, will get pics as we start building more. As many ideas as I've gained from this forum, hoping to be able to give an idea to.

Very nice. Using the bag of bones was very creative, and I have always loved that prop.

Her pose is perfect. Really expresses affection/longing.

Very nice, I agree, the pose is great.

It all looks great. You've done 2 props I can't wait to do myself - the reaper and the mourning skellie. Nice job.

I love it! It's great to see what we can do with a bag of bones...
