My school is doing a production called "The Man Who Came to Dinner" we need to
build a giant sarcophagus in which a lady is thrown. We need to make it look like an ancient egyptian sarcophagus with a
face and everything and we need a good way to make it. Right now we're gonna make it out of wood and put on some styrofoam shaped like a human body but im looking for suggestions on how to carve the body or a different idea on how to make this. All input is appreciated.
We did that show two years ago. What we did was
build a coffin shaped box out of 2x2 for framing and
luan for sheathing. I then had our best art student paint a picture of a sarcophagus top on a seperate sheet of 4x8
luan, large enough that when mounted to the lid of the coffin, it would
cover it and make it look as 3-D as possible. I then had my crew cut it out and mount it. It looked really good.
The truly cool thing is that if you
build the coffin correctly (I made mine rectangular in shape), you can mount wheels to the bottom and it becomes a good rolling storage
unit for totes. We store our SO connections and such in ours.
Hope this helps (and don't be afraid to use your school's art program... I have even gone so far as to
comp them all tickets, lend them our air brush for
face painting or make a small donation to their art club).
