I worked on finishing the roof molding for the rest of the houses. They consist of 4 major parts, 2 laser cut pieces, the top basswood strip and a joint compound and plaster mixture to get that curved transition between the two.

All beards all the time. The beards are each cut from a sheet of fur, rigged with wire and then zap-a-gaped into the jaw as well as being carpet taped around the mouth. The fur itself was trimmed, painted and coated with pomade to allow it to be animated.

I worked on some boards to go over the windows and add to the old and abandoned feeling of the set. They are basswood strips that I carded with an x-acto knife and then painted.

Fabricated some grass for set dressing. I used the homeless man’s beard fur, cut it into different lengths and then coated it with a combination of hair spray, pomade, and paint.
