Prosthetic skin making

[Don Jarr]

Hi All

So a chum of mine has he's yearly Halloween party and this year we decided the two of us would dress up in matrix outfits, (outside the matrix, not inside,) so I've made the implant socket bits, (still got the neck one to do,) and have started moulding them. I also got a bit of pig skin from the butcher and inserted them in that, to get the fitted in the skin look, but I am unsure of what to use for the fake skin. It needs to be thin and flexible so it can be stuck to our own skin and then a bit of makeup added to blend it in. I had thought of latex, but then someone said slush casting latex would be better, so any info or advice would be very much appreciated.

I would have a look over here. It's a mine of information. From cheap and cheerful methods to movie grade techniques.
