Full head and face cast...

Hello,

My name is Jon, I am looking for a place that can do a cast of my whole head (including my face). I live around the Portland OR/SW Washington area. I would be willing to travel up to Seattle or equal distance south if need be. Does anyone know where I can get that done? How much do you think that may cost?
I would like to be able to make multiple copies of my head if possible (just in case I damage the first one). I can shave my head if that would help make things easier.
Please, any advice or information you could give me would be immensely helpful. I am looking to make or have made some protective equipment that will need to fit my head exactly.

Back story:
I have had 2 traumatic brain injuries and am still very much having problems with balance, falling over, and bumping into things.
I would like to make different types of helmets and face masks for different activities. The reason I want to make my own is because the other stuff out there is too big and bulky...I feel like a bobble head and it exaggerates the balance issues. (I will not be using them in areas or activities that require certifications, just while doing things that I need some extra protection.

Like I said, I would sincerely appreciate it. This is kind of my last hope, not sure where else to go.

Thank you,
Jon
 
Sorry to hear about your situation Jon, I'm in the UK so can't personally help but have some suggestions, are there any schools or universities nearby that have art departments, maybe someone there could do it or maybe theatre places that would do make up for shows again this might be in their capacity?

It's not that hard to do, if you have some handy family or friends you could do it yourself, plenty of videos on you tube.

Materials....

Alginate for your head
Plaster bandages for the jacket
Hydracal to make your cast/s

Hope this helps
 
If you can't find anyone to help you do this the traditional way, it could also be done digitally fairly easily and then 3D printed.
