All in all, I'm glad things worked out in the end. And like George said, there is a lot to be learned from trial and error.
Still looks like a ridiculously sick mask. The paint job is really going to bring this puppy to life.
If I may ask, how much silicone did you use? And how much do you think you would you have needed to do it the way you originally hoped to?

it does not need saving.............. its fine, just not really a option for a mask.
crikey now i wish id just lied lol.
EDIT : wooooooooooohoooooooooooooooo 1st silicone P2 head, came out perfect. paint up soon.
Probably just a 1lb more or so, its just alittle thinner than my p1, probably me just being anal, but forgot it was bigger than my p1, i just used a container that i had for my p1, and i did not weight it sorry.

Even though it's the first silicone pull you've done I think it looks really great! how many coats did you end up doing with the 1lb or so of it? and how many would you recommend if it was to be done again? Once I get set up and start doing my first sculpt I would also like to try the silicone route at least once ( and since it will be my first sculpt It won't really bother me if it doesn't come out great.. lol)
Non-the-less great job overall and it looks great man!!
Cheers,
Carlos

hi lee its a shame it didnt go to plan for you !as said quote "WHY DO WE FALL DOWN?,SO WE CAN PICK OUR SELF UP AGAIN!" and a fella like yourself will have no probs with that!!.
I have done 2 silicone masks before
but thanks You miss read, i think i NEEDED 1lb more. Sorry as i said above i did not weight the silicone prior, i just kept mixing small batches and doing layer after layer.
sorry to hear alll that trouble you went into, but youll be back
GUYS I AM NOT SAYING IT FAILED OR AM I UPSET IN ANYWAY.
AGAIN as i said above lol, i am purely showing it did not go exactly as planned, but as you can see the silicone eventually came out a success.

Ah ok ok.. lol thanks people around here say more or so as if it was (more or less).. I'm surrounded by hicks here and getting used to bad grammar.. lol
So you think if I would get a gallon it would be more than enough to make a mask or is that overkill??

Lee the mask looks great. Despite the fact it did not turn out the way you wanted it to. This silicone stuff is just too cool! Its got me so excited to experiment.
Of course mistakes teach us valuable lessons, glad you posted it here for people to remember. Mechanical lock is a bitch. I am guessing the white colored silicone lends itself well to being painted a flesh tone?
How do you attach dreds to this? cutting holes or some silicone glue?
Good job dude.
