And all the others doing something similar, please pics here!

Ooooo, he's turning out really great. The eyes and teeth really catch your attention. I love the big bulbous nose too. Thanks for all the pics. I've got a carnival theme coming up next year and he's inspiring.

BTW there's a Circus Props thread started a while back under the Prop Section. I think you should post a link to your thread there so more people will find it.

whoa, that is going to be a clowntastic prop. i can't wait to see more. post updates please

nice! how did u get the eyes?

HERE IS HOW I MADE IT

So far I have been using:

- Chicken wire
- Iron wire
- Masking tape
- Universal glue
- Old newspaper
- Darwi Classic - self-hardening modeling paste:

- Cardboard
- Kind of Gouache
- Water color varnish
- Acrylic colors

First I made this head out of chicken wire and iron wire. Then I did
cut holes there, where the mouth and eyes would be. After that I
did the nose and put it in its place with iron wire:



Then I did the eyes. I made kind of chicken wire bulbs, then I did fill
them with with old newspaper, covered it all first with masking tape and
then that modeling paste:



When the modeling paste was dry I painted them:



And after that, the next day, I did cover them with water color varnish.

And teeth. First I made separate teeth as seen in the pic. They are made of
modeling paste and have iron wire inside. When they were dry I took
some cardboard and did put those teeth to it as seen in the pic (it is not
easy to explain this in English ) And And then covered the gingival part with
modeling paste. When it all was dry I did first paint them and then cover
with varnish:





Here you can see, how I did put those eyes and teeth there, where
they should be. I did that with iron wire and masking tape. I put masking
tape there first so, that the edges of the holes would be tidy. And filled the
nose bulb with old newspaper:






(As you can see I broke one tooth.)

And then I did fill the whole head with old newspaper. After that I did cover the
whole thing with masking tape:

Here are the head and hands. Head with paint:





And hands. First I did 5 fingers and the... handhand part, then I filled
fingers with old newspaper and put them in their place. After that
I filled the handhand part with old newspaper too. After that I covered it
all with masking tape. Then I painted them:

That looks really cool! I've been thinking about doing some evil clown work, have some props but have not put them out as a group... this is giving me some ideas! Keep up the great work!

And here is, how I made the shoes:







And here the head with hair:







And now I have to wait couple of weeks before I can put it all together,
and see, how he is, when he is standing!

one word sums it up...WOW....that is talent
