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.

  2. 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.

  8. 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.
