Comment on Making a silicone mold of gauze…. FAIL by Jason Babler

Jason Babler — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 05:22:18 +0000

Hey Chris! That is a great idea, it would allow me to make another mold of it if I do like the effect. Thanks for the tip.

I used to work for Mindfuse Games, but I just started a small iPhone development company called Frozen Giant.

Thanks for the feedback!

Hi, Jason,

Why didn’t you brush some epoxy on the piece of fabric, similar to fiberglass and then wrap it around the head after your waste mold was made, as that way you would have a perfect head in case the look was not what you wanted. Then with re: to the fabric detail, which would be hardened, it would have the desired effect of fabric, but not be porous. Just a suggestion.

Keep up the great sculpting. Can I ask what game studio you work for? Hope you are working on a fun project at the day job and looking forward to more of your after work adventures in sculpting.

Cheers-
Chris

Thanks, Jason, but people wouldn’t be buying directly from me. I was just giving you the information.

They are indeed available at planesofthehead.com, which is the only authorized seller of this piece. The ones on eBay appear to be illegal knock-offs and don’t have all the features of the real one.

Hi. I clicked on the link to the head on ebay and it went to “Planets of the Head.” No head there. Maybe they aren’t available any more?

I saw one of the plastic ones that came from Rhino Art in California and it was kind of rough compared to the one you show here.

Thanks,

Mark S.
