I have been tinkering since after last Halloween on this prop idea along with other builds. He's about half done. I tried to mesh the Jeepers Creepers scare crow with my own ideas. I have a 16' post I am going to put him on come Halloween. I plan to double my props from last year. I'll keep you posted on the progress until finished.

Here's some more.

I know this sounds silly since the head is so awesome, but I love those hands. Love to hear some detail on ho that was accomplished.

 

[teabags34]

All I did to make the hands is twisted 2 pieces of bailing wire to somewhat snug, then fold the twisted wire in half( basically its 2 wire folded and twisted together). Then I cut 1/2in rubber hose to make the finger girth size. The wire makes it so you can shape the hand to your prefence. Tthen tightly wrapped then with 2" wide burlap strips. Hope that makes any sense!

Wow! Awesome job! Amazing work on the hands and the face is just CREEPY!!! I love it!!! Thanks for adding more info on how you did the hands.

[killer13]

...holy ****.

WOW. That is an amazing Scarecrow. Incredibly effective, very creepy, supremely built. Absolutely great.

 

[Breaker Mahoney]

Great stuff. Can't wait to to see the rest.

 

[Vai]

Brilliant! The proportions & pose are spot on. Looking forward to the finished build!

 

[chop shop]

Yeah, nice proportion. All around great job. Looks like an actor already.

 

[ShaoGhoul]

He looks so alive!!

 

[Phil-the-fear]

Great job. To me things like this are so more creepy than out & out gore, blood & guts props.

Because it looks so realistic, you expect it to suddenly move and jump at you. The longer it doesn't move the more you feel sure it will!

Excellent work!

 

[teabags34]

Thanks everyone for the great compliments!. I have been getting a lot of requests for a tutorial on how to make the hands for this project. I plan on posting one here in the next few days. Its very simple. Keep checking back.

[blackfog]

He is awesome! Very creepy face and looking forward to that hand tutorial!

 

[teabags34]

Ok guys, I need you help! Help me make a decision. I am debating whether to leave his coat the way it is or dye it black. I'm leaning more towards keeping it the way it is due to fact that the rest of his attire will be black as well. Just curious on your guy's view. Let me know.

 

[osenator]

please keep it the way he is! he is amazing!

 

[chop shop]

Yeah, leave it. It will help outline him in the dark! Looks VERY cool!!
