Members Tgrlily Posted November 21, 2012 Members Report Posted November 21, 2012 This is what I use to mold masks for now. I used to be hair and makeup designer (and production assistant!) for a local school. This cast was made using dental alginate, which I put thin bits of cotton like cotton balls pulled apart into, then a good layer of plaster bandages over. As soon as it was set and removed, I poured a generous amount of plaster to make the lifecast. The lines were from the mask design and the clay is what I molded the prosthetic from. Since I can't bring myself to chip that clay off, I work around it for now! My husband and son both have nice strong features, so I plan on life casting them for my mask work. There are some great online tutorials for life casting. BTW, I love the mask you did! Quote www.beziartfuldesigns.etsy.com
Members Prometheus Posted November 21, 2012 Members Report Posted November 21, 2012 I just bought a full head and shoulders made of high-density foam from Monstermakers.com. The dimensions are perfect and it cost a total of about $70.00 after tax and shipping. Good luck! Quote
