Thread: Various prop builds to "warm up" to Halloween 2010

Tweet

Hi all, this is my first post besides the introduction one (and thanks again for the warm welcome!)
This is one of my first prop builds for this year, I'm starting with something fairly small to decorate the house or the yard, not sure yet... LOL
It's a sort of haunted lamp.
I'm trying to document every passage I'm making, it maybe useful for future reference if I want to make another one!
So here it is the first batch of pictures:
Here we start we the designg for the faces on thick cardboard...


And then I start cutting out the parts



Then I assembled the main body with hot glue

Then I made and attached the top of the lamp

Quick silly test

Then I coated the entire lamp with a mix of plaster, white glue and black acrylic paint (weird mix, I know!)


More pics in the following post...

After the coating I started painting it (the base is a light gold)...

Then I laminated this kind of paper to make the tinted windows

Then I finished painting and distressing it...


Now I need to install only the light bulb and it should be done!

And that's all for now, I hope I'll be able to update this thread regularly...
Cheers!

Thats cool ! Really good job and I can't wait to see more pics!

Thank you very much!

great project Ramiel. It looks like a nice small project you can do indoors and not have to brave the ooohhhh soooo cold garage
