How to Make a Centaur

Step #1:- These are some of the tools you will need.

Step #2:- Next you need 1 horse and 1 doll.

Step #3:- Cut horse's head off and the doll's legs off with hacksaw. Only need to cut horse in half if you change the tail or remove anything else. I used the Dremmel tool to enlarge the hole to fit my doll where I wanted him/she. The tool also helps in smoothing down the rough edges.

Step #4:- If you did cut the horse in half then tape/glue him back up. You can now hot glue the doll in place where you want him. If you make a mistake then just use your hot glue gun to melt the glue and move him to the correct location.

Step #5:- After you have your doll in the right place. Then start to Apoxie Scuplt him/she in. Also Apoxie the seams and any other holes that you want covered. Let Apoxie cure then sand. I first used my Dremmel tool, then finish up with sand paper.

Step #6:- Ready to use primer paint. Then lightly sand. Then prime again if needed.

Step #7:- Next use final spray paint. I use this paint that gives a sand/texture finish. ("Make it Suede" or "Sandstone" both spray are a like just by different companies) I then wash a few layers of different color paint on. This gives the coat some depth to it. You may also use flock if you want to. This is optional.

Step #8:- Done! :D

The brown horse I found at "Good Will", the white horse I found at "Big Lot". I look for horses that have joints in the legs. I need them to pose for my photostory. BTW I'm also making another boy and girl, beside the girl I'm in the middle of making right now.

I'll have to just keep an eye out then~ Might just fully sculpt my own I'm thinking a little centaur girl would go nicely in my group. Can't wait to see your little guys!
