It seemed to work pretty well so I started to build up the rest of the body:
Now I had covered the entire skeleton in polystyrene (apart from the neck and the head obviously) I could start carving it back and creating more of a defined shape:
I then started to add a little more detail in; taking away areas which were going to be left open:
I hollowed out a hole inside his head positioned his head on top of his body so that I could try and keep the body in proportion (I had the head wrapped in cling film to try and keep it as clean and free from dust as possible):
I started to add wadding to act as a muscle layer, mod-roc to act as bone and muscle texture to act as a background for the open areas. I decided that I would cover his neck with the same muscle texture this way, his neck and chest would blend in to one (at this point, I had also given him fake eyes):
Now I was happy with the open areas, I could start to create the skin. To do this, I cut up a few pairs of tights and stuck them to the wadding using Copydex and painted them the skin colour I had chosen. I had also decided by this point to add a needle in to his hand to show he was still in the stages of creation; to almost create the illusion Frankenstein had just momentarily stepped outside:
I also started to add a few more colours on to the muscle layers:
And that was it for now, I would return later to add the extra detail on him and build the set for my Degree show but this was how he stood for my deadline and I was pretty happy with him (because the legs weren't completely finished, I covered them with bandages and added some blood):
