Hi Hi all

Well as I stated earlier I'm looking to do a Death of Rats costume for Ac
seen here in the hogfather

I've started construction on the head (thanks to my AC room mate RB I had a good starting point) and was wondering what you folks might think of my progress.

and here are a couple pics of me wearing the frame

I've completed a little more work since those pics
I cut out the rest of the jaw line and added black backing into the gaps as well as creating a black felt pouch and attaching it inside the nasal cavity I used some 50 pound test fishing line for the whiskers and anchored it inside the nasal cavity.

the final step to the head is just creating the covering and then painting it

I'm also planing on constructing a boney rat tail and a scythe

Edit:
The skull is almost done

just painting is left

and I've started construction of the tail

Though I'm thinking about placing a small battery operated fan in the skull

my next step is to build the scythe mold for the freindly plastic

I decided hot glue would be a cheaper material then freindly plastic

the finished Prop

Holy crap, the Death of Rats! Yay Discworld!!

Though I'm a complete idiot when it comes to costume construction, it's looking really cool so far! Good luck with it!

Is it okay if I say its spooky? :3 I really like it though! Nice work on the construction. You could use a little ninja mask to cover your face inside. Laughing out loud

*giggles*
Your not the first one to say it looked spooky no worries

and I was planing to do something like that but you shouldn't be able to see my face at all in the finished version

That's awesome!
Spooky, as was stated, but also very cool.
Spooky is cool, anyhow. Eye-wink

thanks
I think it's the eyes that help give it the spooky feel
I'm really proud of how the eyes came out, the glowing orbs are much better then the Led pinpricks. Also I won't blind anyone with my gaze but I miss being able to see in the dark. Also the shape of the eye sockets helps with the spooky feel I think. There is a slight point to the sockets that lends it a little more personality.

Wow, that is pretty cool. I like the eyes. Has that "mysterious" creepy look. Very wicked. Nice job. Smiling

2. Dancing with a Rat at the Dead Dog Dance. (Sunday night)

I'm assuming that was you.

I wish I could say it was me
but I didn't go to any dances. Not much of a dancer sir
