Pirates
This crew of pirates was created as décor for a Halloween party. Each pirate started as a cheap store-bought skeleton. The first step was to cast all new skulls that were molded from an anatomical model. Some of the skeletons were posed sitting or lying down, but many of them were fully standing. For these, the bones were disassembled and hollowed out. A welded steel armature was put inside them to create the desired pose. The pirate with the bottle is a functional fountain with a water pump and tube built into the arm. Lastly, they were painted, dressed, and weathered.
