Last of Us diarahma

My first 2 efforts were not as good as the last two, but I guess you get better as the ideas formalise with most things anyway.

The first two I hoped that the clippers cut into the face would give me some great jagged edges for me to make into the fungi mutations. Sadly my technique was off and all it did was cut the eyes away and cut out the bridge of the nose pretty cleanly. So I used a good quantity of plastic cement and some pieces of off cut sprue to make the basic shape of mushrooms to approximate the look of Last of Us clickers.  I don’t think I nailed it with the first two, I chose to not replace them and persevere.

The next two came out better because I went back to some source material. I realised that it needs to be slightly more symmetrical, more  protruding and more mushroom like. Also as mentioned earlier the colours needed to be more subdued as well.

I think I could have used some mini pinecone pieces as was suggested by Gerry to make the face mutations. I think this could really contribute to the symmetry and mushroom looking feel to the mutation. It would scale well and I might try it if I need more at all.

If making your own I would advice concentrating on a centre parting type look to the face as a starting point.  The more famous images have this style of folds of the mutation sprouting from the nose and eyes area and folding out left and right across the cheeks.

Will probably make this a First Aid cabinet as it was maybe a Fedra centre. If I can see what a typical US AED (defib) looks like and see if I can fashion one.

It was easier to make a first aid box rather than make bandages and components. Still undecided what will be in there.
