Hope my fiance' doesn't mind too much,(she doesn't)eek:love!
I made these from fiberglass(skullcap), with durasoft foam for the headtails,covered the whole thing in silicone pigmented with oil paint, then made a custom leather headband and chinstrap.
She won several contests last halloween with hers.

I wouldn't worry too much. One of the mods can move it.

+ 1 on the 'talented & lucky man' comment. :love

Edit your title to "move" or something like that.
A mod will take care of you.
Dont be embarassed, we were all new once.

Cool! I have never heard of "durasoft foam" before? What is it?

 

[RussellSculpts]

Two part urethane foam,self skinning though not too good, squishy soft and light, not sure they still make it though, used to get it through F/X warehouse.

Is it anything like "Supple Polyfoam"? In this pic, stuff looks just like upholstery foam when finished. I can imagine that the headgear made out of this would be light!

 

[fongtrooper]

that's a great job! I've seen many foam twi'leks before but yours takes the cake!

 

[RussellSculpts]

The foam is light, it's the silicone that weighs it down. Altogether though it only weighs about 4 lbs. My fiance' wore hers for hours with no problem.
