Pretty cool, but after two and a half years in the attic, he was getting pretty decrepit. So, in true Frankenstein fashion, I kept his noggin and made a better, stronger body for him. This is the new, improved (and heavily Pumpkinrot influenced) Alf:
I like him much better now, don't you?
Basically, the old torso was made exclusively out of newspaper and flour-and-water paper mached paper towel skin. The new Alf's bones are PVC pipes with newspaper ribs, and the skin was soaked in latex-based paint for a much more heavy duty deadness.
*Yes, he does have a brother named Ralf. He's next in line for a redo.
You struck exactly the right pose with this, and the heavy folds are perfect. Really nice!
ReplyDeleteSo if I wanted to do this I would need, PVC, newspaper and latex paint????
ReplyDeleteThat's the idea. Here's a few pictures of the understructure:

Oh, and paper towels for the skin.
