Publicity shots

Photographs of the main character, the Princess, we have taken photos of her in our basement set.

Also shown in her hare mask, these shots were taken just to get a perspective and to see how the Princess would work in our set.

Yet more Gas-masks & grime .

Freshly dirtied up & crusted with unidentifiable residue. The tube was glue-gunned on - three times, as it kept falling off! - and stained with tea, as was the fabric around the edges of the mask. The "crust" is salt, paint, Sculpy given texture with a bristly paintbrush, and varnish. There was already a weird white crust on the metal parts, so I tried to blend the real stuff with the fake as subtly as I could... hope it's nothing deadly... :\ I sanded down the rubber and burned holes with a heated skewer, in order to give a weathered, "war-zone" effect. I promised stitches, but the rubber is too thick, and I haven't got that many needles to waste...

Gas-masks & grime.

I just acquired these amazing things -"5 x Soviet russian USSR respirator gas mask half face" -direct from Yugoslavia, along with a "russian gray rubber gas mask hose tube". With a little paint, varnish, Sculpey and the appliance of stitches, used tea-bags and a glue-gun, I should have a creepy "Hare-constructed" Speaking Apparatus by the end of the day.
In the planned scene, this will be used on the Princess by the Hare Tribe. She will be dragged to a patch of waste-ground and sedated, prior to a bit of amateur surgery; having a grimy tube inserted into an incision in her throat and the Speaking Apparatus forced over her nose and mouth. This allows the mute Princess to communicate with the Hares- through song...
