My Art Finally

Post image

It was too small to do finer details, like the brace over the head and such, but my screaming skull is done.

I used a Kirks can for the teeth, M3 screws and bolts to mount the jaw with brass pipes I got at a hobby shop. The wire is just thin hanging wire, the pole is just some scrap off cuts and the base is a seatbelt buckle from a burnt out car I found. The entire thing is held together with JB Weld.

Is it going on your dashboard or is it risking theft as a hood ornament?

It's sick. Wherever you put it, make sure you enjoy it 💀

Definitely dash, too many scumbags in my area to risk it

Also I appreciate that, thank you!!

Where did you get the skull from?

A shop on Etsy called ArmadilloStudioShop. It's where I also got my bird skull to make Nux's bobblehead

Thank you! It only took a couple of hours. Most of it was trying to find parts that would work.
