For lots of us who do costumes, occasionally we need a body double of ourselves, for making armor, or costume parts or sculpting.
Abby DarkStar needed one for her Mistress Chief armor that is being built.
The person working on this project needed a bicep, a thigh and a torso.
The easiest way to do this would be by using duct tape.
We have done this before, but the results were somewhat crappy. I decided to do a lot more research on how to do this better and instead of using tight fitting clothing under the tape, we went with plastic wrap.
She was totally watching Dr. Who during this process :love
So in order to do this right, the first piece of tape went under the bust line and then an X was made across the chest. Basically the chest support was created so you get a more accurate frame
As I continued to build the chest, Abby marked where the armor chest line should sit with a pen
Finally, the chest is was complete, onto the other parts
