Making a Head and Shoulders Bust Lifecast with Smooth-on Body Double

[@jeffreycollier4220]

Welldone i'm looking for people who can do this they can do my whole body in this stuff.

Thanks for this, it gets me a lot closer to what I’m trying to do. I’m making a casting of my shoulder so that I can use it to assist me in making a metal arm (winter soldier) what material would you recommend I use to make the shoulder manakin? I don’t want to spend too much on it, but I would like for it to last for future projects too.

I do have a video on making am arm life cast, which may be more helpful than the head and shoulders vid: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ioSZlXZnabN_psU In general you should be able to make an arm/shoulder lifecast in the same fashion, and since you only need to do one arm it will require less silicone and plaster. Another option could be to simply make a Duct Tape dummy: kzbin.info/www/bejne/maDVkpd9o52qhLs This would require only some old clothes and tape.

What you use to fill inside of the mold to make the manikin head and shoulders????

[@Komickrazi]

You can use an assortment of materials for your casts. Rigid expanding foam, resin or plaster are commonly used in silicone molds.

Hello, how much silicon did you use? Thank you)

[@Komickrazi]

I used Smooth-on's coverage chart to determine the amounts needed, it's very accurate: www.smooth-on.com/tb/files/bodydouble_visual_coverage_chart.pdf
