WGN America’s Outsiders

Outsiders seasons 1 & 2 were so much fun. We made tons of prop weapons, safety weapons, breakaway plates, balsa wood shields, headlights, onset blood gags with legs, necks and heads, I sculpted tons of transfer appliances for the makeup department, we made body parts, bleeding rocks and scissors. A lot of friends were made and experiences were had. I cannot say enough good things about working on this show with Tolin FX.
