Making a Duct Tape Dummy

I finished up my duct tape dummy this weekend, and I'll be working on editing the video of making it soon.

I've been thinking a lot though about how to make a permanent dummy for myself, kind of like the one I built for my husband. I used a tutorial on the Stan Winston school for building the dummy and it was kind of a pain in the butt to build. I learned a lot the process but there are definitely some changes I want to make. I found a great Eva foam dress form tutorial on YouTube, but it has some problems; mainly there's wasn't any compensation for the thickness of the foam so the shape got slightly distorted. I would also like to have arms and legs for my dummy but the arms at least one leg removable. I have some ideas, it would be a whole experimental video in itself. But for now, the duct tape dummy will do, and I want to get making some new costumes!
