Constructing the layers and fraying. Using the same cloth material as the last one which shows the weathering really well.
Adding the weathering, gore, bone fragments, chunks of flesh etc. Always fun and very time consuming.
No I do all the cutting and fraying first and I don't use dye I use acrylic paints and water. If you paint it first you will have exposed material that is clean when you cut it. But it is very long process with all that I do.
Why does everyone use Imageshack to post their pics? It always just shows up as "Click and discover Imageshack" And when I click, it brings me to the page where I can download the image..?
I thought I had a huge thread on here with all of my leatherface costumes/life-sized but could not find it so I made a new thread. Got this awesome Chainsaw Tom mask back that I repainted, this time adding more colors as well. It comes mostly brown, but added more accurate lighter colors which really shows the details and cracks better. Will have more finished pics soon, and will be giving it a wet look like the last one I did to look even more nasty and grimy.
