?? Riddler Staff ?? WIP

[Jokerjack350]

So a little back story... while doing my combine costumes I get a phone call from my older brother. His friend is having a fancey dress party and he needs a ridler staff from Batman Forever, Mr Jim Carreys staff.

So I got busy and this is my progress...


First I made a card template of the head of the staff...

Then I made multiple layers of card and wraped them in masking tape...

After that I lathered on some car filler and started to sand it flat...

More sanding and primering going down in lower grits of sand paper...

I then made the "nobbely" bit that conects the Head of the staff to the pole and glued them together and sealed it with some car filler...

After that I connected it to the pole....

next more sanding and primering then GOLD PAINT...

(anyone in the u.k know a place to get metalic gold paint PLEASE p.m me )

Car filler is nice and easy to work with, make sure what ever car filler you get that is easy sand

would isopon p40 work

 

[Jokerjack350]

Never got a pic of the finished thing I'm going to email the guy I made it for and see if he can get a few for me.

would isopon p40 work

And I just googled the isopon and it should work I don't see why not

The stuff I used for this was "U-POL Easy Lite Body Filler "

But any type of polyester body filler should do the trick.
Also I don't use a mixture of carfiller and fiberglass resin on projects like this, much easier just applying the filler as is

Any more questions and I would be more then happy to answer them .


Also btw I might be making plastic casts of the main "?" idol on top of the staff. (Depends if there alot of people that would buy one)
