Members coop Posted October 23, 2013 Members Report Posted October 23, 2013 I want to do a few mask and have searched all over but cannot seem to locate a source for face forms. Any have a llink for those? Quote
Members ReneeCanady Posted October 23, 2013 Members Report Posted October 23, 2013 I found some at a place called Sally's Beauty Supply or something like that. Anywhere they would sell things for beauty supplies for hair stylists, barbers etc.. They had some that were really life like and also had some made from styrofoam. The styrofoam ones were even nice and solid. Quote www.facebook.com/alteredleather

Members olds cool Posted October 23, 2013 Members Report Posted October 23, 2013 I saw the Styrofoam forms at Party City this week. I think they were selling them to hold Halloween wigs. I didn't pick them up to examine the quality though. Quote

Members MojoGeorge Posted October 24, 2013 Members Report Posted October 24, 2013 i recently went through this search, Luckily I was able to locate a special fx company and had them make me copies of two of their face forms, the following is a link to a face casting kit, there are several tutorials on the web for "life casting" and "face casting", this is the only means that I have found to get a facemold of the appropriate size hope this helps Quote 'Ware the Penguins!
Members ReneeCanady Posted October 24, 2013 Members Report Posted October 24, 2013 If you want to go that route Mojo, A.C. Moore and Joann Fabrics both sell stuff called plaster of paris and that works pretty well for casting. They even sell it in strips that you just cut, and dunk in water. I have never tried either of them on the face, but I have used them both to make a complete mold of my husbands torso to wet mold a leather armor suit to. It was heavy doing an entire chest/torso area lol. Quote www.facebook.com/alteredleather
Members Blackey Cole Posted August 14, 2014 Members Report Posted August 14, 2014 If your talking about maniquine heads try a beauty school the use them till there no hair left to cut/style and might give the leftover to you. I got a couple I use for photography that way. Quote
Members Sporq Posted August 24, 2014 Members Report Posted August 24, 2014 Make one. Take a piece of veg leather and get it wet enough to wet mold, then put it on your face, pressing in around your facial details to get everything right. Let it dry for a while, then put it back on, getting more details in and making sure it holds form, and repeat until it stops losing shape. once it's done, seal it with something that'll keep it from getting wet again and you're good to go.
