We’re gonna create snail eyes and begin with heating Polymorph Plastic
You can also use tin foil wrapped with tape
Roll it up into a thin sausage
And then we need an eye
We found a button that looked like an eye. Use your imagination
Push it there properly
Elli is folding up the edges around the button to secure it in place
Then we need to flatten the base of the antenna
so we have a surface to attache it on
That went pretty fast
Now wee need teeth and we use Polymorph Plastic again
but you can use clay as well
Roll the plastic and then cut it diagonal, like this
This way you get a pointy shape directly
We bend them a bit
And remember you have to make a lot of teeth
Flatten the end, like this, then let the plastic cool off
If you make them pointy they will be very sharp so be careful
This weeks shout out goes to sfx emily
11 years old and creates really cool things, check her out!
This time Julia will become the snail
Begin be marking out where you want the teeth
And remember we’re doing one inner and one outer ring of teeth
Then we paint the mouth red
After that we create na inner lip thing with cotton pads and latex
Don’t get latex in your eyes
Then continue with black in the middle of the mouth
And fade it out to the red
Then we continue attaching teeth to the inner teeth row, or circle
Add cotton to the base of the teeth to attach them easier
Continue to pain the gum around the teeth with red
We need to dirty up the teeth as well
And elli is using a brown tone but it’s your creation to use what you like
And guess what, now we repeat everything on the outer teeth circle
And with larger teeth we need more cotton on the base to attach them properly
Here elli is folding extra cotton around the base of the teeth
This take time in Swedish is Detta tar tid
When that’s done get a little blood on them and dirty up the teeth
We lost the footage from one angle so the next step may be difficult to see
We’re gonna use a large piece of dried up latex to create a mouth opening
Cut a large hole in the center and apply latex around your teeth
Don’t worry if it doesn’t fit. We will cut it in two pieces.
One upper piece and one lower
Secure it with liquid latex
And there you see we cut it in half
Then attach the lower part. We know it’s hard to see.
But we know you can do it!
And to really make it look like a snail
we need to paint a snail pattern on the model
Snail in Swedish is “Snigel”
and a snail is not complete if it’s not gooey
so we add olive oil in her hair
Then we continue with foundation
Covering up the latex
Match the colours on the antenna eyes
to attach them we cut holes in the latex in the forehead
And get it in under the latex
add support with cotton pads on the base if needed
It’s kinda tricky
Use a hair dryer for faster drying times
Then we continue with the pattern
When the antennas are in place
Add more colour to them
Then some blood
Oil on your skinn and then you’re about ready
You are a snail
A killer snail
