Thanks again.

I think she's getting a little ticked at me now though. I've had her in the tank for three straight weeks. But, I feel safer with her in there.

YHJ: Yeah, I'm thinking of getting a few security cameras to record the reactions of the haunt this year. I want to see the dads really getting the heck scared out of them while they are 'checking her out.' Serves 'em right! Heee!

Terra I have always been amazed at the quality of the work you do but this is way over the top! She is absolutely beautiful.......congratulations on seeing this through till the end. I can see from the construction photo's that this was a long & tedious project. Its just incredible.

I can't even begin to say anything more than whats all ready been said here. !!!
Words cannot describe how incredible she is....... and your skills are!!
I can't stop looking at the video and trying to figure out how to start something like that!! Can you please tell me what you used to sculpt her with?? I'm sure you've probably answered that a million times but I would love to try my humble hand at this!!!
Also would love to know what you used "inside" of the arms/wrist to attach the hands. Wish we could drive down and see your whole haunt. You are soooooo incredibly talented. Thanks for sharing what you do with us!

She worked exactly as planned. People were just staring at her and was totally set up for the air cannon to the left of her. Here's a vid...it's a bit long but entertaining

Thanks Muffy, you really helped support me on this endeavor.

I am so sorry I didn't see your post before. First of all the basic tutorial I used was LaurieBeast's The Bride tutorial. Her head is a styro wighead and then Celluclay and Paperclay. Her spine is a metal pipe with PVC arms and shoulders. Her frame is made of formed hardware cloth and then coated with Celluclay. Her skin was either Paperclay or DAS clay. Sealed with Sculpt or Coat and then gesso'd. Finally I airbrushed her skin with latex paints and finished with detail paints.

I attached her hands two different ways. For the hand that hangs down...I drilled two holes in the wrist and matching ones in the hand. Then I wired it together. Used Celluclay to fill in the gap and then a coat of Paperclay. For her hand that is up...I put some bent coat hanger wire in the forearm (it's hollow) and then drilled a corresponding hole in the hand. Fit it on and then again used Celluclay to fill in gaps and then Paperclay.

She is my proudest prop. I think now and again about making a male companion but it's a big, big project....
