fun fur questions???

[Captain]

Howdy,

I finally found some white fun fur that would approximate Mugato hair, and made a Mugato hide cloak for my Klingon Ambassador figure. It looked ok at first, but after a couple a days standing on display, the fur has taken on a life of its own! The stuff is starting to stick out all over the place due to static I guess? Whatever's causing it, the ambassador is starting to look more like a mighty killer of Muppets instead of Mugato's!

I tried hairspray on a piece of the fur, and while it holds it down, it gives of a shiny, greasy look, and the fur looks like its all matted.

Anybody have any suggestions how to tame the wild muppet look?

Did you try anti-static spray?

Please post photos. He must look cute with hair standing up.

you could trim it down, too. Also on the fun fur you should trat the edges with anti-fray so it won't start shedding at the edges.

Thanks folks!
Anti-static sparay seems to be working without ruining the appearance. I stitched around the edges.....hope that takes care of the fraying.

I've never had any kind of luck posting pics Jessica, but I guess you could say the Klingon looked "cute" when he was all fuzzy and such. Of course, cute and Klingon dont mesh together very well. Theres a reason Tribbles and Klingons dont get along.
