Life Size Hulk Statue - Help

[Bradester]

The build begins! Mouty (guy in the pic) is 5' 9" so Hulk's frame is quite large!

good luck with your build! I can't wait to see the progress. Are you gonna match the pic you posted, or try to give it more of an Avengers look?

 

[Bradester]

It will match the best we can do in 20 days with an injured helper and rain coming in

Work has begun! We worked for about 8 hours on it this weekend due to weather. We built a wood frame, surrounded it with chicken wire, stuffed it with 9' x 12' plastic drop cloths from the Dollar Tree and scrap foam for support, and are covering it with Gorilla Tape for the skin followed by some nice green Rustoleum oil-based paint.

The upper body is attached to a 10' 4x4 pole. It will be constructed then put into the ground 2 feet, then the legs will be attached as they will offer no support to Hulk standing. He will be about 9.5 feet tall when all is done.

Not ideal, but it's light weight, cheap, and at least it will get done given the time factor. Plus with a good paint job you can make anything look decent.

Hulk update: He has pants!

His head is a Home Depot bucket, a mixing bowl, a Nerf ball, spare Iron Man foam and 5 mullet wigs.

And he stands 11' 8" tall, a bit bigger than the 9' plan.

Thanks! He'll get lower legs and feet soon, as we've hit some bad weather.

 

[Bradester]

Feet being installed! All that's left if to wrap them and the legs with Gorilla Tape, paint them up and he'll be done!
