The mouth symmetry is right on! Great work!

Thank you
The structure to support the flanged part of the mould is done now I just need to glue my keys on & make a wall for the rubber.
I know it probably looks fragile but its actually more than strong enough to do what it needs to do. Its made entirely from cardboard (cat food boxes) & its all glued together with CA glue. It makes it simple, easy & cheap to construct

I hope that in the future it will be easy for me too.
At the moment I do not understand anything,:facepalm but it is comforting to know that these things can be done with simple materials.

Thanks Guys
Finally got the second part of the body mould finished:
This one is going to end up being at least a 5 part mould, hopefully just 5 parts
The next part will be the underside & I'm going to have to do it in two parts, one either side.
All the flanges will need trimming, a clean up & a little extra reinforcement but I'll wait until I have all the jacket parts made.

Hello Leigh,
I'm anxious to see the result. It must be a blast!

I like it a lot. The tendons seem welded very well and their new form does not change the feeling of the alien Giger.:thumbsup
Thanks Chaps
Wondered what your thoughts would be on this:

It's nicely sculpted, but I'm not keen on the curved muscle/tendon.... seems to go against it's meant to be doing. If the jaw is fully closed, then the tendon should surely be pulled taut, or what is it that's keeping the mouth closed?

That's pretty. Wow.
Alaneye, that tendon could be Y-shaped, with one half connecting inside the upper jaw. That would be the piece holding the curve on the visible section. I'm talking in in-universe terms here, not about the sculpt, but in short it works for me.

Many thanks for the feedback guy's
Alan's right, he's spotted that I'm using human face muscle anatomy as reference & pulled the deliberate mistake :thumbsup
I was actually expecting some negativity due to this not being screen accurate but I'm extremely pleased with the responses to this as I like the way this is looking
I'll still make the lips & chin extension as before but they can be used in combination with prophylactics rather that struggling to produce accurate tendons as it's just not working.
I was just throwing this together to see what happened using images from the net showing the Human face muscles & I'm seriously thinking about continuing with this & having it as an option... it just seems to work
Anyhoo, I've made the alteration, hollowed it out behind & tweaked a few other area's:

Yes, that makes it even better tension. What I really like, are the joint areas, such as under the cheekbone. Beautiful and strong. :thumbsup

Thanks guy's
I've done the other side. I'll need to give it a final once over detail wise before making a mould but that's about all I can do ATM, I've run out of materials & money. I'm now on another stop until probably the new year :rolleyes
