I started making this a few weeks ago and still have a few steps left, but here is a work in progress.
I used rolled up news paper with duck tape and set it on a 2L soda bottle.

Then used spray foam to add girth to the body and fill in the cracks, it also seals it up pretty well too. Then I carved it down to look a bit better and Papier Mâché on paper towels with carpenters glue to add a skin cover.

I still have to add some colored skin, hands and teeth ( my husband says he looks geriatric lol)
I'm gonna use colored tissue paper for the skin. I cant wait to make more of these for next year!

Wow! That's looking great and creepy. I can't wait to see it finished.

Making that first one is always a lot of trial and error. I'm sure you'll churn out and amazing brood once you get this one finished.

This looks awesome! I am starting on a big paper mache project this week. What did you use to carve down your expanding foam?

[nosferatu]

That looks great so far. Look forward to seeing it finished.

It's weird that I don't bat an eyelid at a thread titled Working on a new corpse.
I enjoyed making my corpses a few years back and I always meant to try out spray foam. It works very well by the looks of it, I'm dying to see the finished article. Will he have a name? Or is it just me sad enough to name my corpses?

Fantastic work Staticfurball! I would love to do so many of these projects to fill in the gaps in my October, but this is just wonderful

"Working on a new corpse", just your typical ZP! title!

Looks fantastic already

Thanks guys. the spray foam is great and u can use an x-acto or just a regular steak knife, it carves up pretty easy.
It's funny cause, any other time of year, telling someone I'm working on a corpse would get me some pretty weird looks, and yet saying that here seems so natural I'm working on the hands today and my sister gave my some cheap vampire teeth I can use for this year until I come up with something better.
I've been calling him Roger...not sure why, it's just what came up first.

He looks a tiny bit reminiscent of Roger Waters.

Very resourceful of you. Can't wait to see more progress.

Ladies, meet Roger. When he isn't buried in his work , he likes full moon walks and ladies with big brains

I had so much fun making him that I plan on making a whole bunch more for next year.
Had a bit of trouble with his teeth and tried many things but the Q tips worked best. I covered them in hot glue and shaped them a bit pointier and stuck them in voila, mean chompers.

Great work.Roger is looking good

[zombombie]

He's creepy! I think walking past him in the dark would he a real scare

[purple1worm]

He turned out really cool!
