If you don't get a quick answer here, you should post up on the BOTB board as well. Those guys will get back to you right away. I'd love to help, but I've only researched it so far. Check out Monstermakers.com and smooth-on.com. They have manuals you can download and videos as well. I would avoid painting the original as I would think that might interfere with the mold releasing from it, but wait until the pros chime in. And good luck! Sculpt looks great as always.

thank you i will go check these places out :>

The manual at smooth-on is free but the MM manual is $6.95 and has much more detail including a step-by-step explanation.

Cheapest way would be to make a latex/stone jacket mold. You should be able to get a couple resin slush casts out before the latex shrinks. Don't forget to put something behind the eyes to seal them.

what is your budget? Depending on how much you have to spend, it will dictate which materials and techniques are available to you.

How many would you like to produce? Do you care if your master is damaged/destroyed in the process? Is your master rigid or flexible?

the master is super sculpey ... i have put super sculpey through hell once cured and i think it is pretty unkillable but i can be wrong ...i would like to make a whole bunch of them ...so i can cover my wall in faces .. i figure if i go too cheap i will just have to buy more of the too cheap product and end up spending more in the long run so what is a moderate way i can go about casting and producing perhaps resin copies of this mask?
