Leatherface Costume Part 2/3: Latex Mask

Making the Leatherface mask. Thinking of making another cast and painting it up like the pretty woman mask. Anyways, happy with how this one turned out. :D

that moment when someone with 70 subs makes better content then people with 1 mil plus

[@CostumeForge]

Wow Thanks man! :)

[@vgkallday1096]

your welcome don't mention it :) I hate how smaller channels have some of the best editing and overall performance and get little to no recognition for it.

[@CostumeForge]

Im hoping my channel gets more attention during the halloween season.

[@vgkallday1096]

oh yeah Im sure it will because that is what you do and people want a homemade costume that is cheap and you can do outstanding costumes on the cheaper side. personally I would rather use one or your costumes and make it then spend 500 bucks on a cheap made costume that probably won't even fit next year.

@Maskfan124 42 the song is Cylinder Seven by Chris Zabriskie

[@michaelmyers9449]

Cool but why did you make it look both rotted and fresh?

[@darkforestzombie218]

Maybe for different parts of the mask starting to get old, maybe indicating different parts are from different victims ?

[@lepsonical4763]

The only problem of this mask is the hair,it seem to curly and neat. The problem I have to face with making a Leatherface mask is that I'm not as skilled as you.

[@CostumeForge]

Im still a beginner. Just practise and youll make something great!

[@slasherfan2.045]

awesome!!!

[@mr.braxtion]

I have a question why is the back of the mask hairless

[@CostumeForge]

I honestly cant remember.

[@EnigmaStudios_KalAlexander]

what use to get leather stitching through mask

[@CostumeForge]

I used an upholstery needle. It was big enough to get the string through the eye.

[@EnigmaStudios_KalAlexander]

@@CostumeForge ok and what kind of lace...size and type

[@DoritoChipz543]

Do I add clear coat while clay is still fresh or do I wait for it to dry

[@CostumeForge]

I would let it dry a little but not fully.

[@thatfilmguy7814]

Beautiful mask man! Just one quick question. What type of plaster do you suggest to make a mold?

[@CostumeForge]

Thank you! If you live in the UK I highly recommend 'Crystacal R Plaster' I know 'Hydrocal Plaster' is popular in the US. Both are very strong once cured.

[@thatfilmguy7814]

Thank you for helping me!

[@HorrificThings]

I am a huge Leatherface fan and I really enjoyed watching this mask making process! Great job! Looks fantastic! 👍

[@CostumeForge]

Thank you so much!

[@ondray740]

The nose being too long kinda threw it off for me. But everything else about it looks great!

[@CostumeForge]

This is a mask that I would try again. I was never too happy with the end result. Thank you though :)

[@corpse4699]

To get real looking blood add a dot of black

[@opengraves1122]

Looks kind of like a rotten Poe mask

[@skelclip4167]

Awesome! Although I think maybe a bit more hair would be nice

[@cloudy_fn_2641]

How many kg of clay did you used on half of this mask?

[@CostumeForge]

I have no idea.

[@ralvepetty3420]

can you make a tutorial on severed body parts for a haunted house or something like that?

[@CostumeForge]

Good idea! :D

[@lepsonical4763]

Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

[@ralvepetty3420]

what?

[@lepsonical4763]

i said boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[@zillabash6362]

ew

[@michaeljyers4722]

With all honesty, one professional to another... It looks like it came right off a movie set

[@DoritoChipz543]

How long do you let the sculpture sit before adding plaster, in other words, how dry does it need to be

[@CostumeForge]

I like to let it dry just enough so that you can touch it without getting any on your finger. Just dont let it dry out too much or it will start to crack.

[@DoritoChipz543]

Costume Forge thanks I really appreciate it, did u also add a gloss or clear coat too before adding plaster

[@CostumeForge]

I didnt with this but I highly recommend that you do.

[@DoritoChipz543]

Costume Forge also, do I add clear coat when clay is kind of dry or still wet?

[@CostumeForge]

Dry. The clear coat will give you a cleaner mold with more detail.

[@freakfactorystudios4211]

This method of molding is so good and easy im going to use this methed on my next mask

[@rachelandchrisschwab]

what clay did you use?

[@CostumeForge]

I always use Scola Air Drying Clay. Its the cheapest option for me and I have never really had any problems with it.

[@rachelandchrisschwab]

Ok thanks

[@ChillerKiller88]

Costume Forge I use real human faces.

[@ChillerKiller88]

Hello Sweeney's Ppayhouse I want to play a game.

[@freakfactorystudios4211]

What kinf of mold relese do u use

[@CostumeForge]

I don't use mold release. All I do is use vasaline when making the other side of the plaster mold. I didn't do that in this vid as I was experimenting with metal shims.

[@freakfactorystudios4211]

Thanks dude

[@AugustMcCoy13]

What happened to you

[@CostumeForge]

A lot. I will be back.

[@AugustMcCoy13]

@@CostumeForge yes

[@noiadithavone6801]

I like your mask

[@CostumeForge]

Thanks! :D

[@theslashershadow2465]

What brand of latex do you use

[@CostumeForge]

The slasher shadow 246 Scarva Liquid Latex Emulsion

[@theslashershadow2465]

What plaster do you use

[@CostumeForge]

The slasher shadow 246 I use fine casting plaster but I wouldn't recommend that. It's a nightmare to work with, only 20% of my molds didn't break. I'd recommend Hydrocal or if you can't get any of that use Crystacal.

[@lordeleyejah6180]

this is the worst mask ever

[@CostumeForge]

Is it though? Really?

[@lordeleyejah6180]

@@CostumeForge for tutorial purposes its fine. but you should have spent more time on the sculpture. simplicity is key to all art. i been doing this stuff for 10 years plus. but i think you rushed it. but if your skill level is still noob then its good.
