Slimer costume build day 1
Head needs to be extended up as boys eyes hidden behind top jaw but he was in bed so couldn’t use him as a model
Hopefully today extend the head up & set some more features for expanding foam to build on, like the buttocks 😁

Slimer costume build day 2

Only managed to extend head up and add some buttock profile 😁

Next I think I’ll just bite the bullet and try the expanding foam 😬

Not finished yet today but chuffed it’s facially recognisable but now thinking expanding foam will be too much for the face 🤔

Good for the body & rolls of fat maybe

Masking tape & Amazon packing so far 🤯🤔

This is going to be hilarious 😆

Fleshed our the cheeks (front and back😁)

Think decorators spray filler is better to smooth head features

Expanding foam for body still 🤔

Expanding foam body

Lots of mess & waste

Could use it better and more efficiently if ever I bother doing this again 👀

Slimer costume build day 632

Fed up trying to figure out a finish to the head surface so it can be smooth, robust, flexible

tried layering PVA but wasn’t working 😩

Now hoping I can sand it down to be recognisable again 😬fingers 🤞

Expanding foam doesn’t give the finish I want but it can’t get heavier it’s for a 5 year old 😬

Will look ok...

still more to do, in too deep now 😩
