thanks , guys.


Here is the first successful pull.

But first a word about ecoflex 0030

f$%k ecoflex@!@ i have never worked with a more intolerant material in all my life. Doesn't like to cure if everything is not perfect and you do not pray to tom cruise right. . I put my thumb through a casting just pulling it off the bust. A part that was over an 1/8 th of an inch thick. All future pulls of this mask will be made of dragon skin 10/ ecoflex is just too soft to use for a mask like this.

I am no pro but to hell with ecoflex.......jmho. Nothing but a headache.


But here is the casting. Still have to finish seaming the mask and it is ready for paint.

The mask wears rather well. You have to breath through the mouth.

very nice !!!

Awesome work, the mask is bangin !

Just amazing!!!!

Damn Dude that is beyond cool!!

And my high school art teacher use to yell at me for mouth breathing.

Friggin nuts man...just nuts...

looks amazing, Curious as to the problems you are having with the Eco30? Are you re-enforcing the cowl with anything. Try making a powernetting hood and placing it over your positive before casting. Ive cast in both Eco10 and 30 with very little problems, but Silicone is a temperamental material and as you said. When using dragonskin, watch your deadner/ slacker ratios ...too much and you may have delamination problems with your paint. keep it up. love the look of the sculpt. Cant wait to see this a completed suit

That looks incredible.

i have reinforced the mask with powernetting. the main thing is the head on the core was what was causing the issues. so i covered the head in PVA.

since this was my first core mold. there were issuses but i have those taken care of.

here is the mask on. i did a quicky paint job. i do not like the seam on this mask so i will not be using it. you can't really see the seam in these pics but in the sun you can or atleast i can. i plan to mek me a new mask. this is the test pull and paint.

but here it is.

WOW

Awesome man!

That looks ridiculous! I love it, great work!

That turned out very nice, looks perfect to me.

That's the best Red Skull to date. Great job Tom. Any vids of it in action?

Never seen you looking so good Tom!

Masks like this make me wish my head was smaller.

Bungle, it looks amazing! Keep us updated on the new mask as well.

great job man it look freakin insane!!!!
i made a 3d model of the captain america helmet if you want it pm me or mail me i need to find someone to unfold it for pepping.

Amazing work!!

That's all I can say.
