This is the third and final installment of how to build a Mind Flayer. In the Part 1 tutorial, you’ll find how the frame body was made. Part 2, goes over the head build. For Part 3, I’ll show you how I made over 200 feet of legs.

Supplies Needed:

• Poultry Galvanized Netting (150 ft. x 3 ft.), often called Chicken Wire
• Wire Clippers
• Green Floral Wire, 22 gauge, at least 3 large rolls
• Waterproof Filler : Many, many plastic bottles from 16 oz to 2 liters (about 2 or 3, 30 gal. bags full)
• PVC Pipe 3/4″, 4-5 10 ft. pieces (more if needing to use as filler, instead of bottles)
• Black Plastic Sheeting (should have plenty, if bought suggested size roll from Part 1)
• Heat Gun 
• Foam Pool Noodles
• Spray Foam (optional for PVC leg filler, but will definitely need for vines hanging on Monster later)
• Drill or Dremel (for holes in PVC pipe)

Hopefully, by now you know how long your legs need to be, and you know how to use a heat gun. If not, read instructions, and stay focused. You can burn yourself faster than you can imagine. Continue reading →
