I would have went to the top of the shoulders with the casting so he could tuck it in his shirt and it look more realistic. Also you could seal it with glossy clear plasti dip to make it look more wet look.
Hi, I found part 1 very helpful to do a head cast on a pupil today at school. I'm a bit confused as to why we did an exact cast of his head if the eventual modelled character mask doesn't have an inner that fits the subject snuggly. Does it not Matter? I was thinking we'd need to put his cast inside the mold of the character and slush the latex in between.
I have a question. If, for example, I make the nose and/or the chin of the mask longer than one of a normal person (in order to match the thing I'm trying to make the mask of), would it be better for me to seperately fill those in before I work on Casting the rest of the mask with Latex? And would would a chin that's about 1dm long wobble around if I don't add something like a steel rod to make it more stable?
If I am understanding you correctly, you are asking if you could fill in the areas that may need more support with latex before the rest of the mask to make them thicker and therefore more stable. That could be one way to strengthen those areas. Another way would be to cast your mask as normal and glue some foam inside the nose/chin area for more support as well. I would not use anything to stiff to strengthen areas like a steel rod because that could make the mask heavy and eventually the rods will start to poke out and tear the latex.
@@bbelt1 Oh yeah I didn't think about the possibility of the metal rods tearing through the mask. I ordered everything I need online earlier today (including the latex) and I'm not sure on how much latex I'll need so it'd probably be better for me to glue some foam like you suggested. Thanks for the help!
I've been making masks for 10 years now and I've watched these videos and I can say that to me your trying to cut corners and that's why you are not getting a good mask just my opinion
It was very clear on how to make, I had questions, but your 3 part on how to make it answered them all! Thank you! (and the mask is really cool)
Its a thumbs up......perfect 👌

Great result! I remember being Freddie in the 80’s and the masks were pretty rough looking. Yours came out great!
Well done, it looks better than those store bought Freddy masks!
But way to thin
The mask turned out great. Get a double action airbrush, then learn to do fades. That will up your game and you will be happier with your work.
