About 1/2 way done













Is it the floating head from Zardoz?

A Lucha Libre bookcase?

That is one big Tiki head you have there (but ATP, I really liked your suggestion). I'm guessing from the list of supplies that you will be covering that with a layer of foam and Monster Mud? Should be cool when you get done. Can you make it so flames shoot out of its eyes???? That would be really cool. :)

Will be freestanding or able to hang off a balcony.

Monster Mud is preety cool stuff. A bit messy to work with thought :lol:

This'll have to be it as I have no more room in my vehicle.
