Sounds kinky I know... you need a suit to fit under the coveralls that fits very close to your own body. This suit is what the exposed bone and decayed flesh will be adhered to.

   If you have or can make a Mannequin. All you really need is something that resembles the same size and shape of your chest and midsection. Once you have this stretch the Spandex Catsuit over-top of your mannequin till the chest fits right. Now any areas you wish to be exposed you coat with the Liquid Latex compound. Use a brush to brush this stuff on. The first coat will sink right in the second to third will begin to coat.

Any type of sewing scissors will do so long as they are sharp. Begin by cutting out various shapes for ribs and shoulder blades. (Any pictures you have of skeletal structure will be handy for reference material.)

   Be sure to trim your edges round. You will need to trim off thin slices till you get good shapes. Anything that is to intricate a shape to be cut out of foam rubber use your modeling clay to make a mold for and them just brush in several layers of the Liquid Latex till the mold is ridged. Once you have your shapes cut out you can stick them onto your suit with a little contact cement. once dry you can coat them also with the Liquid Latex. Remember the first two coats will usually soak right in.

I used wood dowel with the tips rounded. Make your knuckle bones the same as your other bones. Hopefully your brand of Liquid Latex was white, this way you can add a little acrylic paint to a small portion of it in order to color the areas you wish to have color.

   Once your gnarled fleshy hands are made you will need to insert them into the tan leather work gloves. Make sure you wear out holes in the tops and fingertips of the work gloves with scissors and the wire brush. Muck them up a little to with a thin mixture of black paint and water. You will want to mix this fairly thin so you have a nice thin wash to work with. The idea here is to make them look old and worn.
