Today We Covered a Man in Plaster, Just to Watch Him Die

Wow, what a cool title for a blog post. And partially true, to boot.

Before I expound on that, though, let's flash back to Saturday. About 7 or 8 of us put in a full day of work at the Lab, building shelves and doing lots of sorting and organizing. At this point I think we can declare the Lab to be officially usable for any and all of our projects! We have enough open space for work areas and enough shelving to hold our various tools and implements of destruction. We've got welders, drill presses, chop saws, grinders, table saws, planers, and lots of other stuff for working wood, metal, and other more exotic materials. Not to mention all the gear and chemicals for casting body parts, make up, and special effects. Everything a haunt-crazy group of builders and artists needs to kick their production up a notch or five.


OK, now on to the dying man in the plaster. Today we did a lifecasting of Nathan. This involved covering his torso, neck, and head in plaster bandages and silicon so we could get a good impression of his upper body and face. And for the record, Nathan was a real champ during the entire process. It was not an easy thing to sit through, as there were several unexpected complications.
