Fibreglass underskull

The mask was cast in platsil gel 10, really great stuff, takes hair punching really well.

Things to do:
1. Add some highlights to the mask, shorten brow hair
2. Add some more brown to the waist
3. On the next mask, add some deadner to the platsil around the lips to make them softer for lip snarl
4. Paint lips with brown/maroon acrylic ink or silicone pigment (was just using lipstick :lol:)
5. Matt the overall costume down to stop the hair flowing while walking, trim upper arms slightly

The mask was a hell of a lot more intense work than I thought it would be, the next one will be easier, think I've weeded out most of the mistakes!
 
WOW! Truly incredible work. I can't even imagine the hard work & time you have put into creating Chewie. PM sent .....
 
Have started my Wookiee project, after months of research and deciding whether to do Chewie or Tarfful, finally if gets underway. Chewie it is then!!!

Have just completed the feet that give me 12" of lift. The hair is kanekalon latch hooked to a mesh.

Beginning of the underskull build, needs some tweaking before I mould it.

Have a local tailor making mesh trousers and top for latch hooking.
