Trini needs your help!

[MightyMorphinPR]

Hey guys About a week or so ago I bought and received a Vac pull of a show used Yellow Mighty Morphin Power Rangers helmet (front half only) and I have been trying to figure out how to go about making a casting from it. I've only been doing pr props for close to two years...so I gotta learn this sometime, right? lol. I mean, but I dont know anything. What would I use? I would probably need a release agent, right?

I'm just really quite clueless, I've never done anything like this before, and I'm kinda too scared to expirament with it, this thing costed me a pretty penny.

but ANY help you could give me, I would appreciate so so much

Here are some pics

Thanks for your time, guys. I REALLY appreciate it.

Where did you get that?

Why did you get that? Just kidding, I never really got into power rangers, but I remember when the very first one came out I had a crush on the pink ranger. I actually think she may have been in my very first wet dream. Weird.

What is your plan for the mold? Are you going to make more vacuum formed masks or a solid bust or a power ranger door knocker from the mold?

This seems to be the recommended book for this sort of thing:

The prop builders molding and casting handbook by Thurston James.

This is a 4 year old thread, and Jessica has not been here since 2007.

I doubt anything has been done with this.

That's going to happen any time new members join, and is very understandable.

And just FYI, she actually cast the inside of the pull and sculpted a back half to make a full helmet. She sold a few copies but I'm not sure if she still does or not.
