I need to make a giant thumb.

[Ewan]

I'm going to a Mighty Boosh fancy dress party tonight. I have all of my costume sorted except for one bit.

Doesn't matter if you've never heard of the show, all you need to know is that I need to make a giant thumb. I have no clue how.

A couple of people have suggested papier mache, but that takes too long. It's 3.30pm now and I think I'm going out at about 7.30ish so need it made by then.


Any ideas anyone?

Thanks.

PS: If you're curious, you can see a video of the character I am going as by searching for "mighty boosh hitcher" on youtube.

Excellent idea! ... a little cutting, shaping & duct tape on the inside.. put a big spiral on it and wha la!

Handcraft one out of liquid metal.

papier mache shouldn't take too long, a blow dryer, 3 layers of newspaper, one layer of white paper. Should be strong enough.

It's ok! I made one out of rolled up paper and masking tape.



It was awesome.












You have no idea how many people came up to me and complimented me on my costume.































Photos tomorrow!

Fuck I would love to go to a Mighty Boosh party. I watched the Mighty Joe episode last night "these coconuts are great, they taste just like bounties", although its by no means my favourite:
