The new picture of the week is up.

01 July 2007 Checking the Fit This picture needs more explanation than normal. The orange-red you see (in the linked full image) is a latex coat on the master negative mold of a (new) werewolf face; it's there to make it easier to clean out the Roma shell that's been laid in it. That shell of clay represents the foam-filled skin in the finished head. On either side, there are plugs of clay that will be the overflow channels for the expanding foam in the finished mold. The next step will be making the core mold that will shape this inside surface of the face skin. Ysengrin has set the (hollow) lifecast of the client into this clay shell to check the fit - the space between the lifecast and the clay is where the underskull will fit, though most of the open space will remain air space. Because the lifecast is hollow, it gives the illusion of facing towards the camera.

In a few minutes, dark_fang and I are going to go catch Ratatouille as a matinée. I've also been treating him to Burke's Connections series at dinner.
