P2 Closed Mouth Build. Raw Latex 1St Pull P24 24/11/11

Would aso like to see your rebreather on this mask.

Not a problem.

on a slight side note, i actually cannot get to the p2 bio ( all my stuff resides in my mothers attic ) so i cannot try a p2 bio on it sorry. put im pretty sure its alittle bit too big for the bio. well i hope as thats what i was aiming for.
 
Well, i do not have one to try i am sorry.

BUT, i THINK the box of bios is at the back of the attic, so not accesable, if it by chance is at the front i will see if i can grab the rebreather and p2 bio later today if i have time.
 
Hey Mr H.......shame about the silicone one (not that YOUR bothered lol).....latex pull came out clean as **** tho.
Looks like you gots so many potential collectors at the door....you gotta beat them back with a ****** stick lol.
Well done that man......another succesful project under your belt.
 
Dunno about potential collectors, you know how it is with tyre kickers.

I managed to find the P2 bio. its too short and too narrow all over, about 1.5 inch on the crown, about 2 inches in the cheak and 2 or 3 inches in length , so yay for me on wanting it bigger.


As for the rebreather, i cannot find it :( although i did find some fast cast resin, so i will probably poor another one later today, time permitting. i think the mould is about dead but even if it is, at least the shape is there to try.


oh and i have the sculpt still, so i can remould it if needed.
 
The Rebreather i created ( yes i have made a couple of things on the lair ), pretty much has the same issue as the bio.

the cheak area is too narrow, i COULD heat it up with some steam and flare it out, then i guess it would fit, but i really cannot be botherd. i am actually surprised each time i pull a rebreather and the details still hold up lol.

anyway i deleted the photo of the bio, for some stupid reason, and i am not going to dig it out again , so you will have to make do with the rebreather picture.

Tony, I used GEL00 for this, exactly the same stuff as I used on my P1, which was a huge success for me.

The problems I had with this were purely down to a mistake by me, and I still intend on finishing the paint up I have started on this, as silicone is definately the way forward and offers so many pluses over latex I will not make MYSELF a latex mask again.

Silicone has one downfall and that's the cost.

But again in my opinion the pros make it well worth saving up for.
 
Quick picture of where the silicone masks paint up stands. I am kind of stuggling with these pigments, i guess thts whats happens when you go from the best FUSEFX to making your own lol.

anyway, just testing everything out presently, so far on the test patterns i have done 2 shades of red, i would imagine i will be doing another 3 shades to get the dark look i am going for with this.

anyway please excuse the crappy camera phone picture.


off to pull another LATEX pull from the mould now, on a cold sunday afternoon grrr.

thanks for that lee im going to post a pic or two of the suit ive nearly finished with your head and one i did ,by taking the pics i now know were i went wrong !mine is far too big and out of proportion!will after go back to sculpting another one!
 
Liking your paint up lee, nice style you got going there. (y) (y) (y)

Just a quick question, what are the sizes of that P2 anyways like across the forehead and down, the mouth etc.
 
Silicone lol i know I will be casting in latex but the silicone would more represent the size of the original sculpted as silicone does shrink lol - you see I'm learning lol
 
silicone will be the same size as the sculpt was, i think i posted the dimensions a few pages back when i was asked. :cool:
 
lol okey dokey will scan the pages and find it lol wasn't sure if any had already asked

edit: found it its about 5 posts down on page 19
 
lol.

its too big to be a mask in my opinion anyway, i may even paint this silicone up and sell it on, i am not decided yet.
