So a friend of mine is making some armor, and had a few questions about working with resin (or possibly papermache), and I think I know the answers, but I wanted to ask some experts who have worked quite a bit with resin, and this community is one of the first I thought of ( Read more... )

I am looking to make a balaclava based goat fursuit head. Of goats have horns. I'm thinking I want to go ahead and make larger curled horns, using pool noodles and paper mache. (It sounds off but I have made horns using this method before, and they worked well to put on a headband. Problem was, they absorbed moisture, so I'm looking for a cheap ( Read more... )

First livejounal post ever, so bear with me if this winds up in the completely wrong spot. Recently, I recovered a nice, small pair of antlers from a buck that was sadly made roadkill near my house. It was kinda gross, but I digress. I was wondering if it would be at all possible to make a mold of them using paper mache. I've seen people cast resin ( Read more... )

I wanted to double check to make sure I'm on the right track here. I need something light to make a small beak so I was leaning towards using paper clay, since I don't have the means of casting one from resin right now. I know it dries hard as a rock, but I'm worried about what happens to it when the suit head would be washed. As anyone had ( Read more... )

Well, I'm working on a new partial and this time, I decided to work with FastMache. I finish the plaster mold last night and I put the paper mache in the mold, but I made a teensy mistake - I forgot to add a mold release before I put in the paper mache! Is there anyway to save my mask, or do I have to break the mask and start over again ( Read more... )

It's been a while since I've been on here, so first of all, hi! Well, I've gathered up enough motivation to make a new fursuit, and I seem to have a lot of free time lately, so here I am! I've decided for my next fursuit I want to make a realistic maned wolf, I feel like resin would be the best way to go, that and I found resin supplies in my ( Read more... )

Hey guys :)

I never really showed off my work here before, but I thought you guys might like to see this.  I made a new realistic wolf head for Furfright.

I didn't stop there, I also made tutorials on how I made him.  Included but not limited to: fursuit wigbuilding, making custom taxidermy jawsets, making taxidermy eyes, and how to make a realistic ( Read more... )

I can't remember if I've asked this question here before or not, but. What are your guys thoughts on paper mache for masks? I think I've heard some people mention it, but I can't remember what people had to say about it. It might not be the sturdiest material, but it is cheap....so....I'm considering it. -- If only to experiment with ( Read more... )
