>what is the best way to make the STRONGEST paper mache recipe I can

Use paper in its raw state. And by that I mean use wood.

Not untrue, I guess. But I may want to move it ever, so theres that.

strongest paper mache recipe:

acquire woven carbon fiber, which is like fabric
add resin and hardener
use paper mache technique (yes it works)

had an art student at my uni do this for a huge-ass standing archway, will send pics if i can find them

You should use clay instead... What you do is core a human looking figure in construction Styrofoam. Then pack layers of clay ontop of it. To keep the weight down. Once your done you let the clay drt out and tend to any cracks. Then you get a ton of plaster and old cotton/linen rags and make a postive mold from your clay. Split the plaster in half and now you can lay gelcoat then fiberglass or carbon fiber. From there.. You paint it. And add any lights/clothing.

If you're gonna do this. Do it right. Especially for something life sized.

No, that sounds awesome. But I am kind of poor. I was leaning towards paper mache because its paper an, depending on the recipe, flour/glue/water etc. I want to do this in a big way, but I dont exactly have the big bucks. Or medium bucks.

OP here, Its been a coupla days and I havent gotten any paper mache recipes for strength yet. Not carbon fiber or clay, because I dont have those at my disposal. Any more suggestions?

Google stolloween - best paper mache artist ever.

You can mache over wire, cord, plastic - anything that adds strength. Just build a wire former to the approx shape you need.
