Jeepers Creepers Life-sized Costume

[🪦 sirbrad ●]

I just finished up painting some hands that were all white with black nails to match the mask. I also decided to try and tackle the axe and make it with my cardboard and wood magic. I Can't believe how awesome it turned out for my first and last one! I say last because it was a brutal cutting out those thick pieces of cardboard and then gluing and cutting them to the same length. I used cardboard and a plunger handle, and various paints to give it that metallic look with black underneath. I based it off the 7 inch figure,s axe. I also added the cardboard piece and painted in raised fake screws to give a 3-D look.Of course the lighting does not do it justice and flash is too bright and shows too much, so I will get some outdoor pics later. This also may be light enough for my life-sized to hold if I can close the hands around it. I also sealed it with mod podge to give that shiny metallic look. Looks fantastic in low lighting too! The hands I did not latex/paint the bottoms yet, not sure if I will or not as they shrink a lot when I do. I also made them wet looking with perma-wet. It is amazing though what you can do with simple items around the house and a good imagination. I got lots more goodies to come too, and several life-sized costumes on the way. I am going to have 3 mannequins soon so I can do more at a time and leave them up. <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\"\" border=\"0\" alt=\"smile.gif\" /> Will have some Creeper costume pics too soon. <a href=\"http://img25.imageshack.us/i/imag00103.jpg/\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"http://img25.imageshack.us/img25/3218/imag00103.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /></a><a href=\"http://img23.imageshack.us/i/imag00094.jpg/\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/4446/imag00094.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /></a><a href=\"http://img197.imageshack.us/i/imag00114.jpg/\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"http://img197.imageshack.us/img197/3723/imag00114.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /></a><a href=\"http://img197.imageshack.us/i/imag00082.jpg/\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"http://img197.imageshack.us/img197/4773/imag00082.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /></a><a href=\"http://img34.imageshack.us/i/imag00071.jpg/\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/4760/imag00071.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /></a><a href=\"http://img85.imageshack.us/i/imag00063.jpg/\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"http://img85.imageshack.us/img85/9299/imag00063.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /></a><a href=\"http://img197.imageshack.us/i/imag00053.jpg/\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"http://img197.imageshack.us/img197/3472/imag00053.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /></a><a href=\"http://img29.imageshack.us/i/imag00123.jpg/\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/9840/imag00123.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /></a>
