Great idea.

Halfway through it looks like you're headed for a Matrix/fetish party.

:P

How long did it take you to mummify yourself in duct tape?

@Halobitt It took about an hour in all, and yes you need an assistant that knows you pretty well and understands what the aim is ;-)

Not to sound like a know-it-all but I'd heard that it actually was originally known as "duck" tape because it is waterproof, similar to a ducks feathers, and eventually the terms "duck tape" and "duct tape" became synonymous due to the fact that the brand is called "duck" tape, it's waterproof, and it is used on ducts, but anyway awesome tutorial lol

James, awesome work.

@jamesbruton I modelled for a glass artist before, and you're advice is spot on, especially when they are taping up your nooks and crannies.

Definitely a good idea to go to the toilet before being all ducted up.

:D
