I was able to make this diorama without too much trouble...setting up a tank for my baby tarantula. Although these products look like they are marketed for elementary through junior high students, I wanted to let you know I had a blast building this on my Saturday morning... and I'm a 24-year-old college student! I thoroughly enjoyed this product and will be making another purchase in the near future! I attached some photos of the almost finished product!
Thanks!

Minotaur Halloween Costume
You can make any type of mask and accessories by getting creative with the technique used to make this Minotaur costume:
- Make a mask structure with aluminum foil, a balloon and cardboard held together with masking tape.
- Cover with Plaster Cloth and add cow horns.
- Once dry, remove the structure, glue foam to the interior for padding, paint it and glue fake fur on the back.
- Use a manikin body or live cast to form the chest plate and paint.
- Cut holes for straps and reinforce with duct tape, if necessary.
- Use your imagination, get creative and have fun!
