Ahhhh! My wife is a Minbari!!!

RigsRigs Earthforce Officer
Ok, kiddies, my wife (whom I have semi-converted to the dark side) wants to be a Minbari for Halloween. I think she would probably look dam close to Delenn if we could do this. Since I ran all out of those crystal thingies when I turned myself into Garibaldi's twin brother, I need to find some way to do this via conventional means. Mainly, how could I get the bone head piece, is there a prop store I could rent/lease it from, or could I make one? The rest of the makeup she can do with a good picture of Delenn for reference. (I need one of those too) Any help would be greatly appreciated! If we can do this, I promise I'll post some pics here of her when she's all done!

    Thanks Worf, I really appreciate it. Now if I can figure out how to do the head piece, she'll be all set...

  • AlaricAlaric Damn kids! Get off my island!
    You could try making a simple mould from modelling clay or plasticine and use foamed latex (I am reliably informed ordinary liquid latex can be made to foam by adding effervescent tablets/powder of the sort used to cure hangovers though I've not tried this myself)

    It may take a few goes to get the mix right.

    You should be able to attach the head piece using hairpins I guess although the whole thing would be more stable if you could embed something like a piece of coat-hanger wire into it so that it could be used to hold its shape and even grip the head slightly.

    Latex can be painted with pretty much anything even car spray paint but I find acrylics work well because it flexes and the paint doesn't flake off or crack.

    That's a good idea Alaric, I'll definately consider it. Striker, if you could find me some pics of the head piece, clear and up-close, that would be great! My dad is an expert at fiberglass, maybe he can do it out of that, but I need a good picture of it. Hmmm...ideas, ideas, ideas...

  • Just use a headband and some foam, temporarely tape the headband to the foam, cut it with a hobby knife (you might want to get some other carving tools, but whatever), paint it if necessary (test the paint on a scrap first to make sure it won't "eat" the foam!), and then use some epoxy to glue it to the headband (again, test it first!).

    What you can use to paint it is foam. Just dab it on to give it a more "organic" look.

    Some really good ideas, guys. I'm definately gonna try some out this week. Maybe I'll post some digipix of my progress and start a 'Make your own props!' thread? Or how about 'Make a Babylon 5 set from common things around your house'?

    Rubie's used to make a Minbari headpiece. I don't know where to find one now, though.
