And then assembly/painting.
TWO THINGS. First, I've ordered this lovely mannequin because the green base I sculpted the cast on is easily 5" too wide for me now:
Dimensions on this mannequin are off by only 1/2" here and there, so it's as close to perfect as it can possibly get without being "me" and frankly I don't have time to make another mannequin of myself. After I'm done with it it's going to be the stand for Wrex so I finally get my #@$%#! dressform back.
I'm going to put the undersuit on the mannequin, then carefully attach certain pieces of latex directly to the suit, starting with the chestpiece/stomach piece.
SECOND, I used the remainder of my Dragonskin Pro silicone (I had half a pint kit left) in the hopes that it would be enough to get me a good headcast. Unfortunately it was just too thin in places so I'm none too happy about wasting what I had left to get a bad cast. And now I'm wondering if I should skip doing this in silicone altogether and just move forward with latex. What this would allow is for me to get an EXACT color match to the rest of the piece (which I was struggling with, to be honest) and it will look "of a whole" and also, it'll be way cheaper because I won't have to purchase yet more supplies. The more I'm thinking about this the more I think it's a great idea. Anyone have any reasons why silicone would be better than latex, other than being able to move around easier on my face--and keep in mind that it's MUCH larger than my face, so it wouldn't actually BE moving on my face?
I've also ordered a ton of craft moss that will be applied all over the piece. Kinda looking forward to this part!
!!! LOOKS AWESOME
