In the actual show, the masks were latex, and were applied before the latex wigs were put on. I feel like I could do latex casting, but 1) I've never done it before, 2) it's kind of expensive, and 3) I don't have a lot of time.
We joked about using this mask available for download from the BBC lol:
But we decided that a better route would be to make a plaster mask then sculpt on top of it.
Preparing our heads:
We Saran Wrapped our head again, making sure to cover our ears, since the masks needed to cover our ears a bit. The angels have no ears!
Plaster base:
We bought some Rigid Wrap from Micheal's and followed the instructions. Easy.
It dried pretty quick too, but I could help saying how we looked like a couple of burn victims >_>;;
Ktar the burn victim! |
trying it on with my wighat. |
We used more Model Magic (we're only using it so much because it wa on clearance for about 1/3 of it's normal price at ~$1.30 a pack... there's no way I'd have paid full price for it :/ )
We just looked a a lot of pictures and worked our ways up on it.
This is my mask at about 90%:

Anyways, I am probably going to put a coat of resin in the inside of the mask to make it more rigid or something. The plaster is getting a bit floppy :o
I still love your costumes. I'm definately going to try the Rigid Wrap for my spinner mask. If it works well, I'll work on my Golden angel mask as well
