my prop work from over the years

[grinchy]

Cheers mate, no these where all done when i had my own business making and selling props, nowadays its just a hobby

 

[grinchy]

Heres a few more pics, first up a few pics where you can see the clay sculpture, as its friday the 13th today i chose Jason voorhees, heres the first pic, very rough here just throwing the clay on here

then after a few hours work it gets closer to the look i'm after

the final sculpt has a two part mould made, i then pour in liquid latex and once thats sets i add a foam similar to the stuff you use on window frames but soft and flexible, once that is set i pull the mould apart and paint the rubber head

heres a few random busts i've done for other collectors,
v bust

Alien, i repaired and repainted this, around ten foot tall

Outstanding work. Especially E.T. You absolutely NAILED E.T.

Star Wars or not. They're worth showing to the world I say.

Heres a piuece i'm doing for a friend, he sent me an unpainted latex head of a zombie from the movie return of the living dead, heres the original zombie its based on

and my painted version, still got to add the hair to it but the paintjobs done

the sculpture was well done i thought, but the teeth were quite different to the original and the eys were sculpted wonky, i've done the best i can with it, now onto the hair

Now i've looked at it again i think its a tad to green, so i'll add some flesh tones to it tomorrow, tone it down a bit

 

[grinchy]

Added some different fleshy tones to it thats better, still looks like some weird alien though

 

[poncho]

love the 'up' man 8)
you are very talented and a true craftsman of your field

 

[grinchy]

Thanks thats very kind of you,

 

[Jediknight3263827]

you are very talented pal but having stuff like that in my house would freak me out,them eyes look real

 

[grinchy]

Cheers, my wife feels the same lol, i don't have much from my business days it was all sold on, but i kept the old man from UP.
I use acrylic eyes in my heads which are very lifelike, and i backpaint them to make the colours stand out,the ET eyes were the most difficult due to the size, but i got it done in the end

 

[vadersman]

You're a very talented guy, I loved your photos.
You can do me a C3-PO head anytime

 

[grinchy]

Cheers, wish i still had the moulds for 3p0, lots of people have asked for one, i sold them a couple of years ago
Well i finished the zombie, i hand laid the hair which is a bugger of a job but its done now, not exacly salon fresh, i added dried blood and fake dirt to the hair to
