Then detached the molded mask of the manequin and tried it on so i could see where to fix and perfect the mask

Before molding, take a moment to compare against the character you attempting to recreate.

 

To my eye the nose and philtrum slit are too wide and should be adjusted to better resemble the source. It is a subtle detail, but one that can really change how the costume is perceived.

 

Be well,

Thomas

:D - Saludos hermano.. como te va ?.. Yo me llamo Martín..soy del Outpost Costa Rica, bienvenido! ..

 

Tu mascara esta imprecionante!, exelente trabajo! ..muy linda va quedando.. Con algunas modificaciones que tomás te de apuesto que ya la tendras lista pronto!, ojala no le aflojes para tener otro hermano latino Nihilus!,

 

Presta atencion a este detalle que creo que es al que tomás se refiere:

 

Mira la distacia que hay entre la punta de la nariz y los orificios oculares, el detalle que tiene tu mascara, apesar de que se ve requete Cool!, es que esta un poco mas arriba ( pronto ilustrare ) tenes que bajarle un poco mas a la nariz para que quede bien, similiar a un orificio nazal de un craneo real ..

 

lo demás todo esta exelente, las ornamentas de la frente te quedaron maravillosas asi como la gema

 

Saludes a los chicos de aya!...

 

Les mandamos bendiciones desde Costa Rica!

 

 

Nos vemos! --

 

Pura VIda! ..

 

:D

Muchas gracias Martín y si espero que la mascara quede muy bien pronto, anoche corregi un poco lo de la nariz y lo del labio, y de una vez vacie el yeso para hacer el molde, espero hoy al quitar el original de plastilina todo salga bien, jejeje, en cuanto a la nariz, la habia dejado un poco ancha para que mi nariz, estubiera agusto y comoda al ponerme la mascara.... pero ya estoy en eso.... espero pronto empezar con mi traje en si

 

y por supuesto que te considerare mi hermano ya que la aficion es la misma desde que se tiene la idea, hasta que se concibe en un tremendo traje como el que has logrado, espero alcanzarte pronto para estar juntos en la 501 como sith lords

 

saludos y como dirias tu BUENA VIDA :wink:

Martin thank you very much and I hope that the mask is finished soon, last night i corrected a little the nose and lip, and had time to pour the plaster mold, I hope today when remove the original clay mask everything goes well , hehehe, on the nose, i left it a little wide for my nose so it could comfortable to wear the mask .... but im on that now .... I hope soon to start with my suit itself and of course i consider you mi brother since we both have the same passion for star wars and hope i finish my costume as cool as yours, hopw we both be in the 501 as sith lords

 

greetings and as you would say BUENA VIDA :wink:

Painted the mold cause plaster is porous and added some separator film

And then... resin and fiberglass
