    Nosferatu proto-type.

    Here is my own head sculpt and cast, on a CTVT white male body, glow monster hands, black tights, brown knight shoes and Lab-coat is Rit dye "Cocoa Brown Chocolate". White thread did not take the dye as hoped for. Perhaps the felt-trim will cover it. Developments to come.

    most threads don't dye. Looks good, just what mego would have done.

        Thanks guys.
        I have the brown felt to make his coat-cuffs, Now I'm considering adding a new collar and trim to the coat, in an effort to hide the white stitching. Found at Shipwreck Beads, some beads to sew on for the coat-fasteners. Thinking of making bib-shirt collar or adding the collar to a sleeve-less T-shirt. More pics to come.

          you can use a felt tip marker or watered down acrylic paint to get rid of the white thread, too.

                Thanks T-bolt! I was considering both those options, but wasn't sure if they would work.
                Here's the coat with the felt sewn on.

                    the felt really does it.
