Got these both painted yesterday using Motion Picture FX new mask paints. I have to say they are excellent and made life easier to say the least. Clean up was easy, the airbrush never clogged and so on. Thank you Motion Picture FX for the samples. I’m sold!
Today I will epoxy glaze the eyes on the Balok , Alien, and paint Seemore. I thickened the back of the head and patched all the bubbles. He will be dry enough today to paint.
The Werewolf I’m using the new Motion Picture FX’s mask rubber on since Burman’s was out of rubber and will be for two weeks yet to come. This rubber is very white. I have used it before with great success. It costs me a bit more but I think it has benefits.
I’ll pull the mask today. Our temperatures in the back of the studio are still quite cold and it takes time for the rubber to set up. However this rubber remains so white it looks wet. Upon my touching it I found it wasn’t still wet except for the chin. So I didn’t pull it yesterday to be safe.
Generally I allow my mask molds to remain filled with rubber for up to 4 hours to get them thick enough for long life. Another reason they take time to properly gel and set up enough to pull safely.
Here’s some pictures for you to enjoy!
