Re: Bale Mannequin Project...


Been a while since I've posted on this......done quite a bit of work on this. Here's the progress so far.

Torso will a nearly a gallon of bondo on it.....(yes ONE GALLON)..LOL

Power sander to even it out....

Image

A bit of fill work, course and fine sanding pads, six coats of primer......and.....

front....

back....

Image

Spent a couple hours doing the bondo job on the legs today.....

back....

.....will take some time to get the legs to the point of the torso. Then all I need to do is cast some hands (never done that before...should be fun), and put the final coats of paint on. I'm rather enjoying this process, although I don't look forward to doing 3 of them for the suits I have in progress.

Topcoated with semi-gloss black and a mist of gold....went a little heavy with that on the camera right pec, but hey, it's a mannequin, so F it, it'll be covered....LOL emoticon

My suit is being custom tailored to fit this very mannequin for the ultimate in display pieces...plus side, mannequin is my size!!!! I can wear it if I choose emoticon Hands will be the final part, which will be poseable so I can open them wide up just like the lifecast.

 :cheers: - Johann
