Wow! Thats some transformation.
It's made something laughable into something useable!

We can't get Blucky's here in the UK, but I'd love to see how you did it!

Baron, check out this site.

Monster Guts - Skeleton Props

These are really simple Bluckies, but they sell for $12 USD, or £6.33. Since they provide international pricing, I'm guessing they would be willing to sell to you in the UK. Also, Bluckies are very light, so shipping shouldn't be too bad. I usually get 5 at a time so I can get Free Shipping, but I'm in the states.

Thanks for the info, TK.
I have been considering putting in an order at Skeleton Factory for a while, as they will ship worldwide. (I've been waiting for the £/$ exchange rate to improve a little). Another of the members from Mainland Europe ordered from them and was pleased with the product quality and service, but commented that the shipping cost nearly as much as the goods themselves..
This may be a cheaper and more practical alternative.

Yes, I definitely want a tutorial!...This will help in a project I had in mind and may help before I start carving up bluckies....I also want to open the mouth and cut out the eyes...Cheesecloth and latex maybe?...Definitely cheesecloth cause I've got a bunch of it....ZR

Ok today is the tomorrow that you mentioned yesterday and I'm not seeing a tutorial
You really do love keeping us hanging, dont you?

Look Baron you do have them in the UK! First google hit came up with this:

Plastic Moulded Skeleton for Decoration. Glows in the dark. UK

Oh good god Baron, just go buy a dang blow mold skelly and get Meeps off your back already. At the very least lie and say you did! You know how those transplanted European American Wannbe Dutchies can be, she'll give you heck till you get out there and then some more for taking too long! lol

And where the heck is that tutorial...that's why I came back to begin with!!!

I'm not sure I want a Blucky now Johnny, to be honest I'm rather gravitating towards one of TK's rather novel Kitten props...If he will ship to the UK, of course..
