Put in a good day today. I used the heat gun to bend the piping. I then had to make legs for the top gargoyle. I glued up some 2" thick foam and carved it up. Using some old PVC I also added the wings.
i ran out of skeleton parts in stock so I made this hand with some old pipe and electrical tape for joints.
Here is the tomb stone ready for some paper mache/cloth. I also added cardboard triangles to be the shoulder blades.
The PVC white pipe is screwed to the main support wood. This holds everything in place nicely.
I then used my mixture of drywall spackle, glue, and water. I soaked the cloth in this and then laid it over the skeletons and the wings to give the appearance of old skin.
My wife has been busy also working on the costumes. She is making the dress that Lidia (Winona Ryder) wears and the suit that Beetlejuice wears when they are supposed to get married.
The suit that I am going to wear.
If you have seen the movie, then there is a scene at the end where there is a magician's assistant who is cut in half. We picked up a mannequin and will paint her to be a blue color.
