Part of the Empire

For my Emperor Palpatine costume I wanted a mannequin that could "stay in character". Therefore I've started to fransform a funky looking mannequin I had standing around at home.

Sprayed the mannequin with white carpaint
to cover the old, funky paint...
 
More layers of white... Also did the torso in black. Started to shape the face
with Plastilene clay.
 
Getting there...
 
...step by step...
 
Comparison with my
latex appliance.
 
Covered the clay with
liquid latex.
 
Moving on to red paint. An old trick to get
the face more alive.
 
The another layer of
liquid latex.
Is it onlu me, or does this
look a bit like Frank (Hellraiser)?
 
First couple of layers of
skin colour.
 
   
Enough for today.
 
Oh - hands got their first
layer of paint as well.
