Huge thanks to a friend from my theater group. (our church has a stage. It had theater people who wondered 10 years ago, why don't we use that stage? Since then, there's been a production at least one a year, most of the time twice a year.)
So Kevin saw my photos and said: "if you need anyone to help with any of the funkier photos..."
Well... I don't think he said funky, but some sort of phrase that implied it.
I said: "Are you available tomorrow??"
I don't think I told him at the time that I was going to zip off his head.
But if I did -- I certainly didn't tell him that I was going to be taping black gaffer's tape to his neck in order to do it.
But that's the secret here. Bought a black zipper -- trimmed it right next to the teeth. Filled in the v with black gaffer's tape (they told me it was the photographer's best friend; but I didn't think this is what they meant. I think it was more for taping grids to flashes, etc....).
Anyway, he was an awesome model!
Thanks for all the comments. :)

You got my highest score, I was hopeing this was legal because it looked toooo real!!! Great Job my friend, humm gaffers tape, is that a theatrical product? My good ol' stand by Duck tape has too much shine for things like this....
The gaffers tape that I have seems to be a fabric tape, so there's no shine to it -- it's a nice, flat black and worked quite well for this!
