​

Hat base is a police hat built up with foam and interfacing, then covered. Bones are are sculpted using Model Magic. A mixture of paint and Heat n' Bond was used for detailing.

​

Sock were made from spandex with detailing using paint and ribbon. Shoes were painted with details made from foam, fabric, and Velcro.

​

Metal sheets were used for all metal plating. All rivets are actual metal rivets.

​

Balloon is a mylar balloon carefully primed and painted. Eyes and wigs are made from foam. The entire thing was a difficult balance to put together as the balloon still needed to float by the end of the process. A lot of research went into finding light weight paints.
