    I can't take any credit. Here is where I learned it from, but beware this guy is awesome!

    Everything was left overs. I did not have enough letters so I had to cut and paste some together. They are simply hot glued onto the box.

    I cut some "damage" into the box and filled in the large holes with Crayola Model Magic (which I use all the time).

    I used some left over "Stone" paint to give it texture. I was too dark so I then painted it with some primer which worked really well. Seal coated it flat and airbrushed the details. It is mounted on a piece of plywood with heavy duty staples. The Moss covers the flaps of the box and is held in place by hot glue.

    The hand is from Crayola Model magic (To me, it is the best and easiest way to make hands). I make the digits separately. I then slide it over a wire (this allows me to pose the hand anyway I want). The fingers are then mounted into the palm which is just a big clump of Model Magic, held in place by a touch of hot glue. The hand and arm are attached by a dowel hot glued into place. I painted and airbrushed the details.

    The dirt is expanding foam simply painted.

    What you don't see is how I secured the arm and the display. I used a small section of PVC, drilled a hole in the plywood and mounted the PVC. The arm simply slides over it (hot glue it in place). The bottom of PVC will slide over a stake in the ground to keep it in place.

    Nice and easy and cheap, jusy how I like it!
