Monster Mud!



What is monster mud? It is a mixture of joint compound and paint, from what I understand there is no wrong way to mix up the paint, I have heard 5:1 ratio works (paint being 1) but the only thing that matters it what works best for you. You take strips of material (burlap) and dip it into this mixture, then you wrap it around a monster body/frame, to make a body you need some chicken wire and duct tape. Shape the chicken wire into your monster creating the arms, legs and body to the shape and size you desire, twist tie the open ends of the chicken wire together or use duct tape, then duct tape a sytro foam head to the body. Put plastic or cardboard on the ground to protect it then, put your material dipped into monster mud onto your frame, wrapping piece by piece, one at a time around your frame then let dry. This can take several days. Then when completely dry coat with an acrylic clear coat or polyuathne to weather protect it.
