Skeleton Warriors

A beginnings for an Army of Darkness

As you can see, they started out as nice, fun loving 6 foot tall foam skeletons from Menards (a regional hardware store similar to Lowes or Home Depot) until a few modifications were given to them.

The shoulders were moved outward and re-glued into place.  The arms and legs were pinned into place instead of just dangling by hooks.  Lastly, a few teeth were removed and eye sockets given a more evil look and blackened more.

All we lack now are some weapons to hunt down good doers.

A simple stand made from some PVC pipe and fittings. The bottom 3 pieces of piping are just pushed in without glue so they can be removed for less storing space. The vertical pipe stops at the base of the skull with a zip tie around the neck to keep the skeleton standing in place. I did have to add a couple ground stakes to keep the skeleton from wanting to tip over in the wind.
