Earlier in the year I set out to make a Dengar costume. For anyone who is aware of Dengar's back story, his nickname is "Payback" for the revenge he is seeking on Han Solo. Solo forced Dengar into a horrendous crash while swoop bike racing on Corellia and the damage he sustained resulted in the headwraps and scarring we see on him.

I feel Dengar got the shaft because the famous bounty hunter scene where Vader points to Fett and says "No disintegrations" was originally shot with Dengar because Vader knew the situation between Dengar and Solo. I guess Boba Fett turned out to be a much more interesting character so the scene was rewritten with him. ANYHOO! IT would be pointless, in my opinion, to have a great costume and not extend the same effort to the face. I know there are scar fluids available but I wanted to transform my face creating not only the scarring, but the larger nose, the pronounced brow and REFUSE to shave my eyebrows!! With the help of my wife, we took an Alginate cast of my face.
Once the plaster bandages we applied next cured to form the outer shell, I was able to fill it with ultra-cal 30. to get the duplicate of my face.
I gathered all pics of the original character I had and began sculpting in sulfur free clay. My final piece was going to be Dragon Skin silicone so I needed a sulfur free clay. .
Once I was pleased with the sculpture, I recast the new face in Ultra-cal. Now I had my positive and negative molds. The two part silicone can be pre colored with "slic-pig" silicone pigments. It makes painting easier. I was now able to pull my facial appliance and after some painting This was the final result. 
The initial result is OK. My problem is in the adhesion of the appliance. The silicone based adhesive is very unpredictable. I heard that there is a product that encapsulates the silicone called Bald-eze. This supposedly allows more common adhesives to be used. If nothing sticks to silicone except silicone, how does this work. Does anyone have more info on this they would like to share??
