Time to cast the sculp properly this time.
Spray the entire piece with 'Krystal Clear' which is a sort of varnish. This is to ease the removal of the plaster later on.
Next, make a dividing wall. I put three keys in as well (the nobbly bits of clay on the wall) to help when the two halves of the cast need to be put back together.
Then slop on the plaster, making sure to cover the whole surface AND the dividing wall.
I think I put three thick layers of plaster on, with the second and third layers I added 'Jute Scrim' to strengthen the cast.
When this dried I removed the wall, covered the exposed plaster with copius amounts of vaseline and casted the second half.
After drying, gently prise apart the two halfs using a srewdriver or similar.
Remove the mannequin head and the clay et voila a cast for a Kryten mask.
