I painted the PVC frame flat black to help hide the structure. You won't really be able to see much of the frame anyway because it will be covered in monster mud fabric/clothing.

I attached the skeleton with some long screws in a few places and everything seems to be very strong. You might notice that the top sections of the arms/hands are attached with zip-ties. I did that to test fit the position and make sure I was happy with how he looked.

Once I get the clothing on him, I will attach them to the PVC with a couple screws or glue. After he is fully dressed, all openings will be filled with spray foam to fill any voids. I don't want him to hold any water if he gets rained on.

Next comes the monster mud process ...
