My high tech work
area; the front porch. The topknot/stem hasn't been
added yet. Here he's upside down. |
|
Several toilet paper tubes were
taped together with masking tape until it was as
long as I wanted it. Then a long
strip of twisted paper towels were glued around it.
Sorry I don't have a picture of
doing that part, but you can see it in the pictures
below.
Ends were cut as needed so it would
bend. |
 |
A clear cd (the kind that is put in
a package as a filler)
was glued into the top with hot melt
glue. The glue was put onto the cd, then pushed up to
make contact from the inside. Once that had cooled, more
glue was added for strength and allowed to cool.
A layer of pulp went over all of
this and propped up on a tomato cage. |
 |
After the first
layer of pulp dried, a second was applied up to about
5". This wasn't as strong as I wanted, so I really built
it up with another layer. That took 2 days to dry.
Facial features were cut out and we
found out that there was no wire; the framework was
tightly rolled paper! |
|
 |
All the pulp is dry, and it's placed
in a pizza box for painting. One coat of black satin
spray paint went over the topknot and most of the top of
DB. |

What happens when the paint builds
up around the nozzle. |
 |
Four hours later, it was dry and I
turned it over, sprayed the bottom and let dry. A second
coat was applied the same way. Thomas spray painted the
inside purple and the excess came out like fog. Pretty
cool when you're not coughing on the fumes. Because of
the flash, he looks grey, but is really dark black. I
didn't adjust the contrast so you can see the fog. |
 |
Green paint is next on the want
list. Once I get that, his teeth will be green, similar
to Rip's.
