Almost done with my scarecrow only thing left is its hands. going for a walk in the woods this weekend, Hows it look .......

I like the netting over head cool idea...are you painting the body? If so what color?

Im going to paint it so I can put it inside a bundle of corn stalks. Make it look like hes coming out of them. so I wanted him to try and blend some. I made the arms so I can move them around

I like your ribcage on the scarecrow how did you build it?

I used plactic hose from lowes cheeper you can buy as mush as you need by the foot home depot cut there own and charge way to much. The end of the hose is the first rib, drill hole through hose into pvc tighten with screw make rib the size you want then attach again in back with screw keep looping until you get all the ribs you want, Take a pencil break in half, take small piece of hose loop over front of all your ribs put pencil in hose and attach other end. wrap hose between ribs with electrical tape, then add Great stuff wait for a little will for great stuff to get sticky then take old artists paint brush and pull it to get fleshy look. To add cloth take elmers glue, cheesecloth glue cheese cloth to rubs then paint with latel or enamel paint. spray primer on ribs then let dry paint how ever you want. Primer keeps Great stuff from expanding any more... have fun

I really like this prop. You did a great job on it.

Love the look of it!!!!

I like it alot.

I'm a fan of all Halloween Scarcrows! Awesome job!
