Thread: Lexington, KY Make & Take - Sept. 28

Tweet

The Make & Take will be held at Performance Edge HQ (my warehouse gym), located at 340 United Court Suite #5, Lexington, KY 40509. If anyone needs help with directions just send me a PM!

We will begin at 11am so people traveling won’t have to leave home at the crack of dawn! We’ll allow some meet & greet time before jumping into the project, of course.

There are several fast food restaurants close (Wendy’s, Subway, Arby’s, and Hardee’s – or you can bring a lunch if you wish, there is a fridge!) so we can choose to break for food just whenever everyone is ready.

I’d like to have some time at the end of the evening for a Show & Tell. Just bring your favorite props and/or pictures to show off to your fellow haunters, you know how we all love to ogle props!

Also, if anyone is interested, the Nightmare Haunted House will be open from 7:30 – 11 that evening. Tickets are $14 each. You can check them out here: http://www.2scary.com/.

Our project will be Blucky Corpsification!

Since I’ve never attempted this project before, I did a lot of research to find a technique that looks good and is fairly simple. After a few hours spent on the internet looking at prop building sites, I’ve decided on this technique: Corpsification 101.

Beforehand I’m going to do some reconstructive surgery on my Blucky to make him more anatomically correct (using a mish mash of these techniques - Corpsing a Blucky, Cassie7 - Baby Corpse How-To, My first Blucky Corpsification). This is completely optional! You can corpse your Blucky as is, if you prefer.

The staining will have to be done at home on your own since the corpse layer takes a full day to dry but I’ve included the list of supplies for your convenience.

You will need:

• Blucky skeleton ($14 at Big Lots)
• Large bottle of Elmer’s Interior/Exterior wood glue
• Box of 2-ply generic Kleenex
• 1” paint brush
• Bag of spider webs
• A large tarp/sheet/garbage bag to keep your car clean while transporting Blucky home!

Supplies needed once it’s dry (the “at home” part of the project):

• Minwax stain (color of your choice)
• 1” foam brush
• A soft cloth
• Minwax sealant

If there are any questions or if you’re having trouble procuring the supplies necessary please just send me a PM and I’ll be happy to assist! Looking forward to seeing you all there!

i'm there man! this is gonna be a hoot!

Yay! I'm glad you're going to make it...it's about time we meet!

Sounds like a real cool day. wish I could make it out. Ive really been wanting to try corpsing.

Hey lowdwnrob, didnt know you were on here also!
Ok, so I am going to try to make it, let you know as soon as I find out.

Yea, I dont come here as often though.

Yeah, I dont as much either, but its a good thing I checked this site.

Are you going to try to get to Daves and to this one also

Alright, I know we've got more people coming than this! I'd love for everyone to chime in so I can get at least a close estimate as to how many we'll have.

Oh, and a side note, it looks like all the supplies for the blucky project can be had for $30 or less! That makes for a pretty cheap prop!

Yep lowdwnrob, going to try to make em both, if I can.
