Very very impressed. You do such an excellent job with the copper patina but you take it to the next level when you add the other aging elements to it. I love how you did the sculpting to add the extra features to the face that is just wild. It definitely gives the face the look of a gentleman from the mid-1800s and I love how you sculpted the collar to hide the gap. It’s a 10 for Creep factor.
First of all it turned out excellent! The plaque is 100% perfect... you really nailed that. I really like the choice to do metal bust, the only thing about it is I think it's a bit too green, need to bring back a bit of that tarnished brass, but it is soooo good looking and I like how did the details on the bust... very nice! On an unrelated to your video: I'm thinking about making the Living Tombstone that the Halloween How-To and DIY channel made, it's an animated head, but it uses a different mechanism to animate the head, it can look up, down, and side to side... uses a Styrofoam head behind some stretchy cloth. I don't know if I leave a link to the video if it will get deleted so I'll post is separately as a reply to this comment and hope it sticks. LOL
Thank you. The green is so tricky it can be to much and not enough at the same time. But i think a little copper coming through wouldn't hurt it. I think i seen that one. He used fabric and had the head on a board with bungee i think. With a motor that just spun in a circle so it would tilt the head in all four directions. Is that the one you are talking about?
The camera seems to make it look brighter than it is. What i did is i use a picture of something with green patina and match it with a paint card and had it mixed at a local paint company. Plus these will be mostly viewed at night. So a little brighter will help them be seen better hopefully
Found you from the DIY Animated Props page on FB for this video. Great DIY, but how sturdy is the foam stand that holds the plaque? I saw on part one it was only foam paneling. Have you had any issues with is coming apart on past projects? Also, was that concrete you used between the coats of paint? On a side note, I caught a quick glimpse of the Ecto-1 in the background. Any stories about that?
I use construction adhesive for my project. What you dont see is after i put the sides together, i run a large bead of caulking tying the two together on the inside where you cant see it. I use the foil kind so the caulking gets a better grab on it and not just foam. And where i put the sides on the base i cut a trench one inch deep in it so the side sit down into it giving it more strength. I have a video where i did an angel on top of a tall piller and i show that. But no i haven't had any problems with pass project with the way i put them together. The GB car is a prop i built for my 2021 Halloween display. It is a 1972 cadillac hearse. It does run and drive. I plan to make a video of it to put on here. But i do have the making of it on my other channel called Bluedakota80. The car is a full setup with the packs and everything
Looks great. Thanks for sharing all the steps and how detailed you were with the build.

Great job
Thank you
I don’t know the patina seems so bright in my opinion but I’m use to seeing roofs or awnings.
