So I'm building 2 scratch built Zombies out of stuff I had laying around, practically no budget at all. The first one will just be a head and torso, maybe arms later down the line. The Torso is a left over styrofoam body I had from an old Halloween prop, I covered it in liquid latex and toilet paper and airbrushed to look like dead rotten skin. The head is just a styrafoam head that I covered in liquid nail and this green paper, the skull portion is a model kit I have that I bought from a flea market but it was missing pieces so I decided to use it on this. I have to carve it out more and then liquid nail it inside of the head then do a latex-toilet paper build up on it before I paint it.
This next one is a lifesized one, it stand about 6'5 all scratch built from wood. These wooden posts are 8 foot tall and only like $1.19 at Home Depot. I'm going to be using a mask as the head and wrapping that foam stuff you put on top of your mattress to make it softer for the form and then put weathered clothes over top of it. I'll keep everyone updated as I make progress.
So after a very long morning in the garage I finished the paint on my blank Zombie mask I got in the mail yesterday for my life-sized Zombie I've been working on. Minus a few minor touch-ups and a coat of Perma wet to make it nice and wet looking, this is the final result.
