REAPER STATUE - TUTORIAL

[@seanzievlogs7126]

It's so cool not only all the Halloween decor you do, but all the books you write! More humans need to be like you

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Thank you for the kind words!

[@JoelSchmittMusic]

Trust me, this is your best statue ever !! Specialy the crown with the roses just blowed me away ❤❤ Congratulations for this amazing project 🎉🎉

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

You are too kind!

[@SputnikDeb]

That . . . is absolutely stellar! What a great build! I also really enjoyed the spooky sound effects you used throughout. 🎃🦇☠👻❤

[@emilyrosenzweig9946]

I am in complete awe!! We just bought supplies to try monster mud, and now you're tempting me to make this our first project!

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

You can do it!

[@cindydavis1443]

Stunning! She and your previous statue "Forever Embrace" are my favorites.

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Thank you so much!😊

[@drewdatification]

Whoa! Issac, as others have said this statue build is by far your best yet! That looks so well detailed and I can actually see this on display to rival legit commissioned sculptures. Well done, broda!

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Thank you so much for the kind comments. It was a labor of love, but I loved every moment of it. I went for realism, so I worked extra hard on her.

[@drewdatification]

@@IsaacAlexanderDIY and your hard work really shows. I can't wait to see more of your creative ideas come to life

[@Wicked1TN]

Great video, it turned out fantastic. I bet your neighborhood loves to see everything you do for all the different holidays.

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Thank you so much ! I think most of my neighbors like it

[@diannesammut3103]

Another brilliant statue. Looking forward to seeing the final display.

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

[@trevorschaffer9173]

I love this statue! It's so beautiful. You are incredibly talented.

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Thank you so much !

[@nohandle227]

This is one of your best statues yet! I would suggest one thing with the skeleton. Where the skeleton holds the globe i would unscrew at the elbow joint and just flip it 180 degrees then screw it back together. Also, just a thought, maybe a crown could be fabricated using wooden skewers from the dollar store. Attaching them to a headband is another story..LOL

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Thanks for these tips!

[@olsipire]

My absolute favorite of all creations!! The design, the details, the whole process is fascinating! I’m amazed and how easy you made the whole process to create something so majestic!!!

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Thank you so much! Appreciate the kind words

[@mary27578]

Wow yet again the details are incredible!!

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Glad you like them!☺️

[@The_Boujee_Mystic]

OMG!!! That double snake plaque!!! 😩😩😩 great job with Santa Muerte statue! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Nuestra Señora de la Santa Muerte is a vision! stunning work Isaac.

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Muchas gracias! Glad you like

[@adonismohtar]

She looks so beautiful… inviting to the other world .. ❤❤🙏🏼🙏🏼👑

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Indeed!

[@JJ-vt3cq]

We can use it twice every year Halloween and the day of the dead. Knowing my wife this statue wouldn't leave our front yard so I'd have to make it a permanent yard fixture

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

My vote is to leave it as a permanent yard fixture lol

Thank you! Cheers!

[@manuelkong10]

This knocks it right out of the park

[@dianeladico1769]

She is stunning. Even for you, with all your outstanding creations, she's jaw-dropping. It's all the details you add that make the difference. I was going to ask you about using an article of clothing or a costume to dress the statues. I thought it would make it lighter and easier to shape as I don't have much strength or dexterity and even less artistic vision. I wonder if there are fabrics that don't take Monster Mud well? Most of the costumes are slippery polyester. Time to start researching. Oh, the globe was simply inspired. Being a belt-and-suspenders type (in a windy area with uneven ground) I think I'd drill out the center of the flange so she can be slipped over rebar or a T-post into the vertical PVC for added security from toppling or mischief. Or eye hooks into the wooden frame and those spiral ground anchors as long as the back panel detaches. There's a better way, I'm sure. Thank you so much for sharing your talents. It takes a generous spirit to create something so artistic and be willing to share the process. You're a gem. Wishing all good things for you and those you hold dear.

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughtful feedback! I'm thrilled that you found my creation so captivating-your compliments truly mean a lot to me. Regarding your idea about using fabric or costumes to dress the statues, I think it's a great approach, especially for making the figures lighter and easier to shape. You're right that certain fabrics, like slippery polyester, might not adhere well to Monster Mud. I recommend experimenting with fabrics that have a bit of texture, like cotton or burlap, as they tend to take the mud better. Researching different materials is definitely a good idea to ensure the best results. I love your idea about adding extra stability, especially in a windy area. Drilling out the flange or using eye hooks and ground anchors are clever solutions that could provide the security you need. It sounds like you're already thinking ahead, which is always a good practice when dealing with outdoor installations. Thank you again for your support and for taking the time to share your ideas with me. Your encouragement means the world, and I'm so glad I can contribute to your creative journey. Wishing you all the best as well

[@LordHog]

Yet again you amaze us. I was watching another video and they said they don’t like using great stuff et el as it gases off over time. Do you encounter this? Why locite instead of great stuff?

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Thank you so much for the continued support. This is so awesome. I’m so happy that you like my creations.. since all my props are outside I never really deal with any of the off gases. I actually use both Loctite and great stuff all the time. The difference is that you can mold the Loctite and great stuff is cheaper so they both have their uses.

[@LordHog]

@@IsaacAlexanderDIY thanks for informing me on the differences. I don’t know where you find all the time to create these projects. A lot of time to make and edit everything. Great as always

[@Joseph.A.Creations]

Beautifully done.

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Thank you so much !

[@devilman2465]

You could also make the continents with something like Model Magic air-dry foam clay.

I appreciate the kind words about the Ruby pendant, crown, and everything else. It’s all about the details, right? And I'm glad the monster mud gave you some ideas-there’s so much you can do with it!

[@TempestNoTeacup]

How are you storing all of your larger statue pieces? Do you have some big storage unit or do you have to break them down at the end of the season? Are the statues one season use or can you store them in a way that makes them easy to put back together? I'm just really curious.

[@themaraudingmoose4536]

Awesome stuff. I tried to make one of these. Came out great considering I made it. Only thing I can't figure out is why my monster mud dried so light. I used dark gray everything

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Thanks! I add black and grey paint to make it darker

[@themaraudingmoose4536]

@@IsaacAlexanderDIY ah ha! I'll try using black exterior paint next year

[@tc487]

Can you only make 1 statue for every 1 bucket of that mud mixture?

[@TorchAndWillowDesigns]

Could you use a small globe and use the loctite directly on the globe and outline the map on the globe? Or would the loctite not stick and would the globe be too heavy?

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

@@TorchAndWillowDesigns that’s definitely an option, but I didn’t do that simply because I wanted it to be cost-effective. The Styrofoam balls were just a few dollars and a globe would’ve been more but it’s definitely something you can try.

[@TorchAndWillowDesigns]

@@IsaacAlexanderDIY I have a small/medium thrifted globe that I paid $3 for that's just collecting dust in my stash. I keep going back and forth on what I want to use it for. It's good to know that it's an option but I might opt for the foam ball instead. Thanks for responding!!

How about using screws instead of the glue? For the PVC pipes.

@@DsLifeJourney that’s definitely an option if you wanted to be able to adjust the PVC before the monster mud goes on top.
