Weekend DIY project
I made this!
Found a vid on the Adam Savage Tested channel a couple of years ago where they take a cheap plastic skull and turn it into a burnt, severed horror head. Cheap skulls seem to be in the shops this year (Wilko, Home Bargains) for £2.99 so I thought I'd have a go. All you need is the skull, cotton wool, liquid latex and acrylic paints. With a bit of care the cotton wool and latex build up is straight forward, but the painting is a bit more tricky - I think I over-did it, i.e. less is more. This is my result, which I'm happy with; starter skull on the left, my effort on the right.

I've never seen that Fast Show clip before. Excellent!
Thanks

It's great but by using plastic skulls you put hipster body snatchers out of business.

It's fairly easy, and certainly worth a go.
My children are doing their own with good results. Be prepared to trash some brushes though, the latex is a swine to wash out.

I've getting into Tested stuff a lot lately.
Especially the stuff this guy does.
This one looked like fun
