thanks mate,yes i used fiberglass matt.and used Vaseline on the joint to release the two halves.also silicone oil on the sculpt to get that out of the mold. 
Many thanks bro. It doesn't seem to give you any problems with picking up the detail. I originally thought it would've.

for me there are two important parts to get spot on.1st is the resin beauty coats on the sculpt.no air bubbles and brush on to get all places covered.3 or 4 coats.
2nd is the first fiberglass lay is important not to get any air bubbles in it.after that its not to important.

thanks mate,me too but hope the weather gets better to help cure the latex lol.
 
Man I don't know how I missed this sculpt. Excellent work. I was wondering also how the heck you got the clay out of the mandible part of the mold.

many thanks mate.i used a round wire tool on a stick to pull the Plasticine from the mandibles. not to hard and did not want seams on them so did it this way.the latex will just pull out when cured so i hope,fingers crossed lol.just wish i could get a copy for november show here in UK.
 
I'm not new to costuming, but I'm new here, looking around getting info and this is absolutely incredible. Amazing work,  can't wait to see the finished product. (I have clay waiting for me to get to it).
 
calling it done after the bottom mandible teeth are glued and painted.then when i can afford dreads its all done.
