Thread: prop material

Tweet

Im hereing people say they use wood and pvc pipe but what other materials do you use for your life size prop?

I'd say whatever works!

Some use chicken wire to form a body.

Glue. Lots of glue.

Chicken Wire is good for a Body Form.
PVC Pipe is EXCELLENT, and most efficent, way to make an Armature.
2x4 makes a Sturdy structure, but its not really efficent, but hey, it works!

If you want to be crafty, you know those Tomatoe Cages, with the wired three hoops, and the long pieces of wire holding it together? Put one on the ground the proper way, and get another one and flip it upside down so the two hoops are meeting. This could make a great amature for a Lifesize Prop. Heres a rough sketch of what I mean, hope you get what I'm trying to explain
