The stand was constructed of 3/4" galvanized pipe. A flange was placed in the center of two pieces of 3/4" plywood glued and screwed together. I also added some caster wheels underneath to help move this around.
The arms were then added after the head/torso was placed on the neck pipe using the wire that was originally part of the armature. Once positioned correctly, I used bolts and rubber washers on both the inside and oustide to attach them to the torso.
A final coat of Flat Plastic Varnish was then applied to the entire piece.

Thank you for the effert put into the tutorials they were so helpful to me, just starting to make my own prop heads instead of using masks!

Thanks again! I spent approx. 5 months working on this project off and on probably cost me around $100 including the stand and dress fabric.
