"SOUP!"
Posts: 13,017
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?

Started making it today. Stuffed some old jeans and a shirt with newspaper and stitched the ends shut so the stuffinf didnt fall out. I stapled the shirt to the jeans (I cant stitch through denim, its impossible - well, it hurt my thumb) I made hands out of surgical gloves and began making a head.

With paper maché do you di various layers of it and leave it to dry inbetween? I covered a balloon in strips of newspaper covered in paste and left it to dry. How many layers should I do on it?

I am going to take a few high res pics of my face from different angles and print them out and stick them onto it so it will look relatively realistic.

god, i don't know WHY i picked media for one of my GCSE's. it sucks compared to ART and IT.

i'll try and get myself an ECDL, CISCO, or even both qualifications during the courses.
