Aloha chicky, So... how was it? I never heard back from about your party, Halloween that is.
Belated... but Happy V-day to you too.
Once the eggs where painted and ready to put in he haunt. I put down plastic flower pots, put garbage bags over them, slit them to make big sheets. These coveed the grass and pots. Put an egg in covered pot, used spary foam to make finger/vines running all over, then spary painted the vines the next day, after dried.
the face hugger tutorial is perfect awesome!!! Thank you so much. For the eggs I see that you had them in a bucket but in the display I couldnt see a bucket , did you have them or were they hidden?
Your welcome. Yes, keep me posted and just ask if you have any questins. I have no dought that you can make them. We dropped glow sticks inside the eggs to give more eeri light on haunt night. I've posted more photos in construction 2009, along with the "how to a Face Hugger" alblum for you. I hope the descriptions of my how to's work for you. If not, or just a question, ask me. And dron't freak if it takes me a day or two to respond. I'm a surgery nurse, my work hours are 12 hour sifts. The Evil Queen
Thank you so much for your tutorial on the eggs!! I think I can do it! I hope I can LOL. You are seriously talented and I will post pics when I do them. I appreciate the help they are so awesome. I love Alien and Predator movies and your scene was the best. Erin
Ghoul Daddy and I used a combo to make the eggs. H.R. Giger's book "Alien" was our biggest inspiration along with the movie "Alien." The book is all about his process of making the movie. The photos are great! First: The base is a paper macha balloon with about 4 layers. Blow the balloon up to the right size you want, then paper it, dry, repeat. Second: after all layers of macha are applied and dried, cut open tops on some to resemble cracking open. Then apply plaster, dry wall compound... what ever. We used an old spatula to apply. Like icing a cake, it will give it that snake scale texture. Applied rather thick, one layer, dry for about 2 days. Third: Around the tops or cracked openings, I layered a thick line of compound using my fingers to form, tracing the lip/edge to give it that puckered or opening look. Let dry for at least a day. Fourth: Paint. I used several colors of old junk spray paint. The tops or in the lip groove, I used fluorescent yellow paint. Dry. Fifth: We used old plastic flower pots to hold the eggs in place, draped black garbage bags around to protect the ground. Spray foam made the creepy finger like vines running all over the place. Plus it hides the pot. We painted them on location. Other photos show the eggs. If you have any other questions, just ask! I'm not stuck up like some folks, I'll share my prop making techniques and answer any questions that I can to help. The Evil Queen Thanks for the friend invite, welcome to my evil Queendom!
Thanks! Love the recycled prop into the mermaid!
