    Making a manequin

    I have in the past made a duct tape double. You could base it off yourself, or do it based off of the "look" of a person. The Disk is only $10.00 USD, and it's a huge file. I've used them for long distance fittings, where I've had someone ducttape them in, then send me the "empty" shell, and...

    Multi Color Wookie Braid - found part

    Looks good, maybe it'll be possible to dye them the right shades. I thought of using weaving hair from a beauty supply store since it comes in hundreds of shades, and is pretty inexpensive. It's made from plastic strands, so it looks kinky or bristly. Now you've got me thinking. :)

    Eletronics Help

    Thanks Sweede, I'll take a look at them. I remember when you posted them a while back, but never bookmarked them. :P Maybe I should! Now that would be an idea of intellegence on my part. ;)

    Does electrical tape conduct any electricity?

    You could use spray on "Dip it". I've used it on a lot of pieces for costuming. But I think the shrink sleeves is the best idea. Since you can peel those off again if you need to.

    Photoshop help

    You can use the "magic wand" feature, and cut it carefully around it. You will need to paste it into the image like Red said, as a new layer. If the picture that you are cutting from is on a light background, you can blend away the light edges with a eraser and the colour of your ground in...

    Mustard?

    That's cool, but it strangely makes me crave a nicely grilled hotdog. ;)

    Mustard?

    Well, when you consider that herbs and plants were orginal dyes and paints, it makes sense that it can be used for painting. How the people in particular are using it here is beyond me. I've worked with indigo before painting it on silk, and then letting it set with letter and then washing...

    prop model making

    Could he use a good heavy duty blow dryer (the industrial kind, I think of Spaceballs everytime I say that) or a heat gun for a small project like that?

    any glove templates??

    They wouldn't be too terribly hard to make. If I had some really good photos I could make up a pattern. I also found this site: http://www.glove.org/ Talking about glove construction for gloves for historical enactment, but honestly, any good glove information is good. Someone's sister...
