I have a large head.  I have been reading books and watching DVDs as well as using this website and many others to work on the mask making process and now I am ready to start.  The first issue I am having is my head is 25 inches in circumference, I wish I could say it is all brains, but alas I cannot.  From everything I have read to get started most people use a foam head armature.  All the armatures I have seen are around 22 inches at the most.  After searching for a while I see that most people put about an inch of clay down on the armature as a baseline to help combat shrinkage in the latex so at the end of the day the mask will fit.  I don’t think if I put around 4 inches of clay that I am going to be able to keep any shape to the head at all.  I am hoping to one day do a life cast of my own head and shoulders to make things easier but at this time I just want to try and get a feel for what mask making is like plus since I am on my own I don’t have anyone to help in the life casting process.  I guess what I want to know is with my large head does anyone have any idea what I can do to or use as an armature to make the mask fit for a person with my head size?  I hope I am not the only one with this issue.Any information would be super helpful.Thanks</blockquote>
