Sleepy Hollow Props (The Hessian)


Headless Horseman
Above are a few photos of the Horseman modified for 2008.

A longer cape replaces the short one in last years initial version.

A new removable base cover made of weed block paper, Spanish moss and leaves spray glued in place gives his black plywood stand a more finished look.

This prop is on my list of all time favorites. Probably in the top five. Looks awesome!

I would definitely be interested to know how tall he is, and even a how-to. He looks amazing, very real!

I have to say this is my favorite prop I have ever seen.

Any price? Really?
Thanks but it's not for sale.
It's a keeper for me...

But ask me again in about 10 years when college tuition comes up.

Nathan Bellew said...

Alright but where did you get that chest plate from?

Civ said...

Chest Plate is thick leather purchased from Tandy Leather Company. Its cut & shaped to form. The whole piece is then given a weathered, rotted look by smearing a sticky spray foam substance on it.
I painted the dual dragons free hand for the most part.
