DIVER DECAPITATED BY BOAT PROPELLER

Here's a scoop for you: the first gel-filled silicone fake body ever attempted in the history of special effects. Or, if you prefer, the world's first man-shaped squeezy stress-relief ball.

He was 'corpse of the week' on the BBC TV pathology drama Silent Witness. I was doing Dead Ringers in the same workshop when most of this job was taking shape. Conal Palmer and Rob Pritchard took care of the body casting, cleanup and lab duties, whilst Charlie Bluett built the body's internal 'skeleton'. I came on board for the seaming and painting process, and drew on the tattoos you see here.

Dress our man in a shredded wetsuit, plunge him into the briny depths, and you have a pretty damned convincing end result. Rotten.com would be proud. Thanks to Charlie for the ocean-going pics!
