Undersuit

         

A duct tape mannequin was required for the construction of the undersuit. This is a simple process to produce an exact replica of your basic body shape.

You will need:-

  • About 6 rolls of Duct/Gaffa Tape
  • Old clothes your prepared to loose
  • Some friends to tape you up

Important Kenny Announcement - Any exposed skin will stick to the gaffa tape and WILL hurt when removed. Any exposed skin was covered with a layer of newspaper before wrapping commenced.

         
         
  • Get on your sacrificial clothes and begin to get taped up. We started at the feet and worked upwards.
 
 
   
 
  • Continue taping up the whole body.
 
 
   
 
  • You need to make sure you criss cross the tape to make sure you get good even coverage.
 
 
   
 
  • Once the first layer was complete, the second layer was done in a contrasting colour. This obviously makes it a lot easier to see exactly where you've done and where you haven't.
 
 
   
 
  • At this point you've got very limited movement so be carefull what your friends do to you!!!!!!!!!
 
   
 
  • The two layers of duct tape where then completed. On the back the cut lines were marked and reference marks were made to ensure correct re-alignment.
 
 
     
  • Then the carefull process of getting cut out and the completed duct tape suit ready to be taped back together and stuffed with newspaper and expanding foam.
 
 
         
Important Kenny Announcement - Expanding foam is horrible stuff and can have a habbit of getting everywhere. ALWAYS wear gloves!!
  • The finished mannequin
