Cool, that looks good. I didn’t realise that Top Mark specialise so much in casting.
Mmmm… alginate! Just what I needed this weekend. Trying to model clay directly onto your own face is a pretty silly business!
For me, that site raises a lot of questions. For small prosthetics like noses and ears, which material is best: liquid latex, foam latex, silicon? I think they used silicone for hobbit ears because it’s translucent like skin.
Also, could we make use of some of the other materials? Could we cast rigid or semi-rigid polyurethane helms from a mold? What material would suit for big monster skin, or should we look at using foam latex to make the whole thing? Could any of this stuff be used to improve our weapon-making?
Some of those handbooks they sell might help answer these questions.
Pity there are no prices listed for anything. i’ve emailed them for a catalogue & price list.
