Ebay is always worth a look, I managed to get a brand new pair for £40 or about $60 - bit of a bargain, but you can walk in them all day long

Have you tried camping / yoga mats? Their cheap and readily available. Sports Direct is usually good for about £4 a roll, just make sure you have at least one smooth side on the mat

Sorry dude not got that far yet - for other parts I've just measured how big I think the piece should be and used that as a guide - probably not gonna help on fingers though - although I'll probably use JoWe's easy foam hands....

What firebapx said - yeah I've got an IM and a War Machine from yoga / camping mats on the go for my kids - not the smoothest finish although the PVA helps - that said depending on the mat you buy, some have a much better finish

Looks great :) and probably much cheaper too! I guess the only down side I could think of, is how brittle is joint compound when it's dry? Definitely looks easier though :)

Looking good :) look forward to seeing this finished :)

Dude... we're not worthy! Your builds are always amazing :) and cheap :)

Thanks guys :)

Thanks to a reasonable amount of Duct tape I managed to get done in time :) couple of pics from yesterday attached :)

Ok going hell for leather to get this finished for tomorrow, but here's a small Zero update - scrapped the idea of stuffing apart from the nose. Made a skull, ears, spine and front paws from chicken wire, skinned with Duct tape and then hot glued fabric on - plan is to attach the lead to Jack's...

Jacket half painted with pinstripes and bowtie made from foam and cardboard

Thanks :) I have some old black curtains which I'm gonna destroy to cover the stilts - and funny you should mention Zero - I have some spare cloth and plan to attach him to a staff, quick mess about with some stuffing and elastic bands as a test run below....

Test fitted with the jacket, some £4 skeleton lycra gloves off ebay and the stilts

I used plumbers putty to build up the brows and the nose, resined it to give it some strength and then painted it - white auto spray paint and black acryllics

That's awesome :) my mask isn't as smooth as I don't have the time, but if it's anywhere near this it should be fun :)
