Just a Dual Density foam covered with water proofing stuff to give it the hard plastic look for when I paint it.

I may have to steal that! Sounds like a cheap and effective way to achieve the look. I like where this is going. Looking forward to seeing the mask.

nice. can you tell us the brand, or chemical compound, or something to make it easier for us to find this stuff. it seams like a good idea.

edit... never mind. the first time i clicked the pic it was too blurry to read the brand, but it was a computer issue. the second time i could see it just fine.
