FREE - The Master's Guide to Duct Tape Mannequin - eBook
In this
free eBook, I’ll guide you through the step-by-step process of crafting a life-size
duct tape mannequin using simple and affordable materials. Forget the need for complex, expensive methods like lifecasting, resin casting, 3d scanning and printing. With just duct tape, PVC pipes, and newspaper, you’ll be able to build a durable, custom mannequin that’s perfect for working on large costumes and projects.
We will get through this together, following these steps: the tools and materials needed, the duct tape molding process, building the PVC skeleton, and stuffing it with newspaper.
Duct tape mannequins are the quickest and cheapest way to create a life-size reproduction of yourself or the person for whom you’re building a muscle suit, or any large-scale costume. Trust me, you can’t do it correctly without this step.
While there are other, more complex and expensive methods, such as silicone lifecasting, plaster bandage lifecasting, resin casts, 3D scanning, or 3D printing, duct tape mannequins offer a much more accessible option. These alternative techniques can be quite costly, time-consuming, and require specialized equipment, which isn’t ideal for beginners or those working from home.
In contrast, a duct tape mannequin can be made using simple materials like duct tape, plastic wrap, and PVC, and it still provides a solid foundation for building muscle suits and other types of large costumes.
