Awesome. You should do a resin run of them!

Couple guys I know have run into problems with trying to cast latex in silicone molds that included the full mandibles. Even with a heat gun, it can be tricky getting enough air in there for the latex to cure. Better off just using fishing line to slice them off clean if you are planning on making latex in the future. How large is the sculpt, though? Is it 1:1, now or did you make it bigger with the intent of making 1:1 latex pulls? If it is 1:1, now, why not do your silicone mold and then do a three-part fiberglass mold for silicone pulls. If it is currently bigger, you could do a stone mold after for latex? Ah, stupid options...

I've done one of these myslef mate and I kept the 2 mandibles seperate molds cut off as close to the mouth as possible, this might also give you the option after to sculpt another set of mandibles in a closed position something I was going to do but never molded the closed versions

if this was mine and I was making the mold in silicone I would honestly remove all the teeth and the mandibles
this will give a lot less stress of the silicone when de molding and prevent and issues hopefully

will also give you the option of making the teeth molds in a translucent resin for a more life like tooth

the bonus is then keeping the mold making simple you will have very little damage to your original sculpt especially as it's in nsp chavant so you can make yourself a plaster mold for a latex head for costuming after, unless your going the full hog and doing some mouth moving mechanisim I would not bother going for a silicne version as it will be too expensive and very heavy to wear, you'll also need to consider making a wearable core then too

hope that helps

looking forward to the finish

I'd say it's a 1.1 maybe a bit bigger but not as big as the original from ADI.So I guess it'll be good for latex pulls aswell.

Thanks,not sure as of yet to add the moving mechanism but had considered the translucent tooth look.Had some samples sent from bently chemicals.However to get the translucent tooth look do I buy a translucent resin and mix it with a colour or is there a resin available that already has that translucent off white look?
Thanks AJ

I'd go with the easy flow clear from mold life and add a little white and yellow pigment
another way would be to use proper dental acrylic but thats a lot more expensive

SaintPeter · 12-28-2011, 01:19 PM

That's the best Wolf sculpt I've ever seen!!!!! I'll take one once it's available!!!!
