Thread: First Homemade skull of 2010

Tweet

This is going to be the head of one of the ghosts I'm building.

Very nice! I like the crack through the forehead. What did you use as the base for the skull?

That's delightfully nasty looking! What did you use for the base structure?

I cast some paper mache around a skull, cut the back and popped it off. then I used great stuff to fill up the head, and airbrushed it. Not too much effort and really cheap to do.

with the right paint job, that would make a really good burn victim skull

Look awesome great work!

That turned out great. Very good shape. can't wait to see the finished ghost.

Very creepy. Are you going to reshape the mouth?

Burn Victim - yeah, I actually started last year playing with building props and getting into the great stuff. I've made a few burn victim skeletons and they turned out great. My paint scheme was a satin red, a gloss black, a gloss red, and a gloss clear.

Mouth - You know, I was thinking about it and then I realized that I'm only using this for a blacklight hanging ghost. On my next skulls you're right, I'm not going to stuff the head with great stuff though, I think I'm going to use paper and then I'll do some more detail with my airbrush on the mouth.

The best part is that a skull only really costs about 1.00 or so now.

Love all the texture!
