Make Fake Scabs/Flesh

Adapted from an article on: www.matthawkins.com

Below is a very simple recipe for making your own bloody scabs/flesh wounds for your movie. Results will vary depending on the skill of your "cooking" and also your fake blood colour and consistency (see here for a list of fake blood recipes) so don't be disheartened if it looks a bit shite the first time around.

Without further ado, here's your recipe. Have fun!


Fake Scabs

You'll need: Water, Unflavored Gelatin, Fake Blood (not essential)

Using 50/50 water and unflavored gelatin. Just smear the stuff on the skin, but work quickly because it hardens really fast and won't stick anymore. It comes out crumbly, and scab-like, some will flake off while you work color onto it, but it'll wash right out of your brushes with warn water. You can also mould gelatin if you use the same mixture but heat it until it melts.

Notes:

> Don't let the gelatin boil because then you'll have bubbles in the final product

> You can speed up the drying of scabs using a hair dryer, and molds by sticking them in the fridge

> Gelatin will melt in the hot sun

 

Fake Flesh

You'll need: Flour, Corn Starch, White Glue (Wood Glue)

Steps:

1. Mix together equal parts of flour and corn starch

2. Add glue and mix until you get a doughy substance

3. Roll out this dough to end up with a slab of 'skin'

Notes:

> As this stuff dries you can bend it and the surface will crack and look more realistic

> After a couple of hours it dries hard (and shrinks a little bit) but looks the same, then you can paint it with normal paint
