Well I do media at college and I am re-enacting when I fell off the fence in a parody of that old show "999", so I need to make a lifesize dummy. I am going to stuff some old clothes with rags or newspaper but I dont know what to do for the head and hands to make them look like, well, real-ish.

Any ideas or tips please?

Paper Machette (or whatever its called).

Get a balloon and slap some newspaper on it with PVC.

Leave to dry

Pop the baloon. Voila you have a head.

Take a pair of tights


Cut them and place them over your head.


Unpick the lock to your local swimming pool - and 'borrow' the dummy's they use for the life saving courses.

There...ginger has a solution for everything

Cheers. But how do I make paper maché (whatever)

Is it just strips of newspaper soaked in glue?

Pretty much.

Just leave about 24 hours for it to properly harden up nd dry.

In my opinion, the ISP is the best I have ever used. They guarantee 'first time connection - everytime', which they have never let me down on.
Many thanks!!
