Hello from newbie, My dragonpriest mask

[Blastin]

Just discovered this excellent community from the coverage done by Wired magazine. Some amazing stuff here.
So, I thought I would add my bit. This is the first sculpt/casting I have ever done. I know there are many like it, but this one is mine!
About 3 days work, off and on. Used plastalina firm clay, Platsil gel10 silicone for the mold, and easyflo 120 for the cast.
The sculpt is based on a mod for Skyrim by Psychosteve that redoes all the Dragon Priest masks.

two initial casts in the plastic. One on right was too thin, and one on left two thick....I hope to hit goldielocks perfect on try three. A bit of epoxy on the thin and some dremel on the thick made them pretty usable though.

and lastly...the mold.

Ok....finally got around to putting up the painted masks.

Went for the dull steel look on this one.


and the brass with patina on this one.


and lastly: Just got my new Joe Armature Form from CFX!
