How I made a Bowser Shell

My son said he wanted to be Bowser for Halloween so I made him a Bowser Shell. For fun I decided to document the process so I could share the steps I took along the way in making this. I hope you enjoy!!

Hi!! How do you do the mask to bowser? Do have any tutorial? And what material is used to make the shell? Many thanks!!! Is beautiful this costume 😊

[@kolliquigley]

Hi, I actually bought the mask online from a costume shop. The shell is made from a floor mat which is made from EVA foam. Glad you like the costume!

[@user-nz8dr4lu5j]

Any chance you have the measurements? How old was your son?

[@Hbomb411]

Thank you do much this is exactly what I needed!!! I don't have spray paint though. Do you think it will work ok, if I modge podge the entire shell I can hand paint it with acrylic paint, like you did for the white shell border?? I need to build a mask too out of Eva and gloves somehow and I'm so nervous I'll mess it up 😬🤣

[@kolliquigley]

Wow thank you. I am very glad you found the video useful. I think hand painting the shell after you modge podge the shell could work. Might be worthwhile testing that on a spare piece of Eva first. Good luck with the mask!

@@kolliquigley thank you so much! It's the day before Halloween and I'm losing my mind over here 🤣what were the measurements for the 4 she'll pieces?

[@kolliquigley]

@@Hbomb411 hi. I just measured the template I made and it is 21 inches long and 4 and a half inches wide. I used a long flexible steel ruler to make the curve. I hope that helps 👍

[@FlameBraveSalamander]

Very good tutorial!! What is the material used for the spines?

[@kolliquigley]

Thank you! We used Crayola model magic which is a foam clay.

@@kolliquigley Thank youuu 😄

[@yanderekay]

is very good! Do they have the patterns?

[@kolliquigley]

Thank you. I don't have a pattern for this. The paper template I used is about 53cm long and 12cm wide and I used a long flexible ruler to draw the curve. I made it this size so I could get the 4 shell pieces out of one floor mat. I hope this helps.

What did your wife use to make the spikes

[@kolliquigley]

Hi, she used Crayola model magic which is a lightweight modelling material.
