Hi there. I just joined the site. Some of you blow my mind lol, such talent here!!
I have only tried to make 1 prop in my life and that was with pvc and it was a major flop not to mention pricey. I am wanting to make lifesize props. How do I make the body? Some say chicken wire but how do I do it please? I cannot find anything on you tube. Or could someone link me to some videos on how to? Thank you.

Welcome!
You should be able to find some body building props on here through the search engine and threads..depends on what you are looking for; standing, seated, etc. Here are a few links to forum member threads that might help:

Thank you so very much. Will take me a bit to figure out how to use this site. I'm looking for standing props I guess for a start. Not sure what others do to make them stand. Thank you, I will check out your links.

Hello and welcome. Along with the links punkineater provided browse through the tutorial section of the forum. There should be threads in there on how to build life sized props.
