Texas Chainsaw Massacre Life-Sized Display Leatherface - sirbrad - 03-11-2012
*Work in progress* Making this post as a placeholder since there will be a ton of pics. This is a cool project that I had planned for a long time now that I finally started on. Will take awhile, but will be doing it as I get time. I ordered a lot of Halloween props that will all be repainted to look more realistic, and I plan on doing a life-sized diorama and costume, reminiscent of the 1974 Movie Maniacs McFarlane Series 4 Leatherface figure, plus more. Still gathering up some materials and will be making everything when I get time. Will also be using these and some other items for a mask display for all my Leatherface masks. Should be fun!
Some of the props so far with their standard bad mass-produced paint ups. Will be repainting all of them most likely, and making the wood look more real and the blades like aged steel and rusted possibly. Lots more to come!

Just got these New Blood chains done using a new painting method and love how they came out, and got a lot of compliments about them so far on Facebook and people wondering if they are real lol. So I guess that means they came out well. These have the rusted aged steel look. Can also be darkened more. This lighter color shows the rust and aging very well, and what the Jason Lives chain would look like several years after being underwater. I prefer the more metallic look with the rust peeking through, and some grime on top as oposed to all black. These come shiny and black, and are a real pain to paint and sand, tons of tiny black pieces stick to you when you are done. But the end results are always worth it. One was a commission and the other will go with another New Blood commission. May use these for the meathooks too or paint the lighter ones this color so they are easier to hang.

Some more props, slaughtering hook, severed hands, and a paint bucket. I was going to use a real metal one but did not see the need to spend that much on one as I will probably discard it anyway when I run out of room. So will be making one that is disposable but looks cool.

CFX gloves which I wanted for a LONG time, custom painted for Leatherface and works great for human Jason and other characters.

Nice work on the chainsaw bro! Looks far more realistic this way...did you take out the sound clips it makes?
