thanks , guys.


Here is the first successful pull.

But first a word about ecoflex 0030

f$%k ecoflex@!@ i have never worked with a more intolerant material in all my life. Doesn't like to cure if everything is not perfect and you do not pray to tom cruise right. . I put my thumb through a casting just pulling it off the bust. A part that was over an 1/8 th of an inch thick. All future pulls of this mask will be made of dragon skin 10/ ecoflex is just too soft to use for a mask like this.

I am no pro but to hell with ecoflex.......jmho. Nothing but a headache.


But here is the casting. Still have to finish seaming the mask and it is ready for paint.

The mask wears rather well. You have to breath through the mouth.

looks amazing, Curious as to the problems you are having with the Eco30? Are you re-enforcing the cowl with anything. Try making a powernetting hood and placing it over your positive before casting. Ive cast in both Eco10 and 30 with very little problems, but Silicone is a temperamental material and as you said. When using dragonskin, watch your deadner/ slacker ratios ...too much and you may have delamination problems with your paint. keep it up. love the look of the sculpt. Cant wait to see this a completed suit

thanks
i have reinforced the mask with powernetting. the main thing is the head on the core was what was causing the issues. so i covered the head in PVA.

since this was my first core mold. there were issuses but i have those taken care of.
