Thanks Howlrunner. I used an old latex head 'n neck mask I made years back, as a Base. The frame is sculptors aluminium armature wire, I tried to mimick the draped leather effect with thick layers of pva soaked crepe paper, blow dried it layered more then gave a thick coat of pva for strength. The lower part with the natural curves is cut and stitched winter stocking. Quite happy with results.

Bringing up an old post, but great work, what would you think about subsisting the crepe paper for fibre glass/epoxy?

also, what was the welder goggles you used

Cool idea...this guy has something from a Plague doctor.

Hi Stevey, apologies for the late reply. The goggles are Sealey gas welding goggles with flip up lenses. I had studied the texture of garindans nose quite hard and noticed small wrinkles like stretched soft leather so that's why I tried the tissue and latex to imitate the texture. Also, I wanted to ensure I had adequate time to play with the drape of the skin over the frame. Fibreglass would work ok. If you care enough about controlling the drape, I'd choose the finest fibreglass matting. That said, you need to seriously bear in mind that this is what you're breathing through so consider the danger of breathing airborne glass fibres and toxic resin fumes if it's fresh. Having just considers that as I've been typing, I'm inclined to not advise it. Perhaps try using a non toxic resin and fabric instead of fibreglass. Hope I've helped. Good luck.
