That's awesome!! Love to see folks being inspired....looking forward to your next batch!

They look great!! Thanks for posting your results!

For an outside wall I would think you could use stucco?

Thank you very much! So glad to see you were able to make them! The more you make the better they get...yours looks great!

Wow! Thanks to everyone who voted....well now what do I do now that I’ve won with my first Instructable? Lol

Looks great!!

Really only took a few hours each night....first 2 nights I let the compound dry 24hrs and the last night was the paint.....that did take a while on the full wall.

Thank you very much!

The plastic jugs never sticks to the resin skull.

Thanks! No gallon size plastic jugs?? Not even water jugs??

WOW...ok..the idea sounds good but this is what works for me...adding paint to the compound will make it tough to get a heavy coat to stick...it will want to run off. I used a whole pail for one wall. I used another pail to do several wall sections. The finish dry brush means that you use very little paint on the brush so it's almost dry and lightly brush over the top of the brick.

Sooooo...I have tried...the problem is that if you ad paint to the compound it becomes thin and it's tough to get it to stick to the wall without running off...you need a ton of paint to make it dark enough...some sort of powder pigment might work?

The only problem with mixing paint into the compound is that it thins the compound and makes it hard to build up enough without it wanting to sag and run off the wall.

It depends on how much you use...I would NOT use it for outdoors unless you could really seal it well and it needs to be on a wall that isn't going to be rubbed or banged into.

All I did was look for one that said "life size" 1:1....it is a bit smaller than a real one but the jugs fit better!

Not sure what your question is but if I'm making the full skull I just hot glue the jaw back on....it does take more time getting the teeth detail with the lower jaw.

I don't go beyond the melting point....there are no fumes that I can smell...I am doing them inside but not in a small room. Would not be a bad idea to get a good respirator.

The resin skull I use has a removable jaw...when making a full skull I just hot glue the jaw back on....it does take more time to make...I just mostly make the jawless because in my opinion they look more real??

NO...won't get close to being hot enough....I'm using a high temp heat gun.
