Been a while since I posted a build, been building bigger things.
Here's the budget Jack Skellington for a incredibly detail oriented 4 year old.
She comes by the eye for detail honestly I suppose.
We start with an acrylic lamp globe:

Map out the center and sketch out the features.
Cut out the opening to allow a human head in the damn thing.

Let someone try it on to see if they freak out or not. They don't. In fact they are so happy they are white knuckle stoked!
Chop some holes in the globe.
Pull off the tape and realize what a sloppy job you did.
Reinforce what you've done.
Clean up the work.
Start drilling hole sand putting screws in for the putty to hold on to.
Going to sculpt this with Smooth On Free Form AIR Lightweight Epoxy Putty. I want to keep the weight down as much as possible. The sample kit is plenty for what I'll need.
The stuff requires that you work really wet. It is messy and soft. I'll have to do the sculpt in phases and let it dry over night.
Nose
Glued cut nails around the mouth for purchase.
Meanwhile, they make no Skeleton Vans for little Kids right now. Seems odd.
Made some.
Ready to start mouth.
Sick of Free Form Air. Gah, terrible.
Let's stripe the suit, which by the way, ends up taking the longest to do.
Yes, that's a Jury summons.
Test run:
Tie. I do love the Fosshape!
Head. Fished sculpt, primed and carved, will get a sanding, another coat and paint job.
Head finished. Skateboard helmet Great Stuffed inside. Took black tulle from a thrift store prom dress and old window screen, glued them together and covered the eyes, nose and mouth.
Suit done.
