Hey all,
As you can see in the picture, i was able to get an excellent condition, 6ft male Mannequin (headless) for a song! It's EXACTLY what I have been looking for to be able to display my Jason Voorhees costume all year round. I just have two quick questions to make it even better:
1) This style of mannequin has is supported by floor plate with a steel post that goes into one of the feet. My particular costume has boots that go with it. So, short of drilling a hole through the sole of the boot, are there any alternate, simple DIY support options? Perhaps something that invisibly wraps around the waist, or comes out of the back and down to a floor plate?
2) Since there's no head, I would need a way to have the hood/mask combo on the mannequin....whether i find a head and attach it, or if there's some other trick that I can use - I'm not sure. I don't care it's it's an actual head, as long as it serves the purpose. I currently have the hood/mask on a prop head that was used to display sunglasses, but I am not sure if I can attach that to the mannequin, since I am borrowing that particular head from a friend - so an alternative is ideal.
I have also attached a pic of my costume that i made - I even created and painted the mask.
Thanks a TON in advance,
Matt!
