How to Make a Centaur
Posted: Mon Jun 27, 2011 12:01 pmStep #1:- These are some of the tools you will need.
Step #2:- Next you need 1 horse and 1 doll.
Step #3:- Cut horse's head off and the doll's legs off with hacksaw. Only need to cut horse in half if you change the tail or remove anything else. I used the Dremmel tool to enlarge the hole to fit my doll where I wanted him/she. The tool also helps in smoothing down the rough edges.
Step #4:- If you did cut the horse in half then tape/glue him back up. You can now hot glue the doll in place where you want him. If you make a mistake then just use your hot glue gun to melt the glue and move him to the correct location.
Step #5:- After you have your doll in the right place. Then start to Apoxie Scuplt him/she in. Also Apoxie the seams and any other holes that you want covered. Let Apoxie cure then sand. I first used my Dremmel tool, then finish up with sand paper.
Step #6:- Ready to use primer paint. Then lightly sand. Then prime again if needed.
Step #7:- Next use final spray paint. I use this paint that gives a sand/texture finish. ("Make it Suede" or "Sandstone" both spray are a like just by different companies) I then wash a few layers of different color paint on. This gives the coat some depth to it. You may also use flock if you want to. This is optional.
Step #8:- Done!
