For the fleshy bottom of the stump, we are going to use some more of that great polyester fill, red paint, and my favorite tool: the hot glue gun.

Glue on patches of fill onto the exposed bottom of the bottle using dots of hot glue. I used extra dabs of hot glue to make a chunky texture out of the fill, making it look that much more like the texture of torn muscle. I left a little bit of space in the middle so that I could have some nasty bones sticking out.

Once you are happy with the coverage of the fill, you are going to paint it using a nice, blood-colored paint. I used some red enamel that I had lying around. It took a while to dry, but it worked nicely.

When you are satisfied with the look of the flesh itself, give some love to the rest of the sleeve: let some of the paint soak through the torn fabric and put little splattered dots of blood elsewhere. Also paint some blood on both of the gloves. Let the paint dry overnight.

In the meantime, I chose to make some chunks of bone to have sticking out of the arm using Sculpey brand clay. I sculpted two, baked them in the oven according to the instructions on the box, and let them cool. I then painted them to look bloody as well.

The next morning, the bones fragments were glued to the space left in the middle of the fill using a dot of super glue for each piece.

you could also use some 1 inch thick sticks and break them so they splinter, then paint them white...
