Having never sculpted or cast anything, I thought I would have a go at making a facehugger.
I decided to sculpt it in sections as I know Im going to struggle with making moulds from it.
I have used oil based clay to sculpt a tail, now Im not sure what is the best way to make the mold.
I guess a 2 part mould will be the way to go due to removing the scultp?
Any suggestions as how to hold the scultp in place while the first half of the mould sets and what to put on the split point of the mould before I pour the second half?
I dont really want to make a mould I cant get the sculpt out of. Getting the latex cast out should be ok with the mould closed by just pulling on the wide end of the tail.
Cheers
