Re: My first Plug at mask making.
Hello Target 3
I'm going to offer a bit of unsolicited advice; for starting out makng masks you're probably better off sticking to a one part mold process; just use a plug. The plug should consist of the bust of your head and the shape of the mask being made by building up with clay. Lay up your glass over the plug. Stay small don't build up too much. Your plug looks long to me

Re: My first Plug at mask making.
Thanks for the advice. I had to throw out all the clay that I had used, it kept cracking before I could get to it with the glass. That is why I made a plaster plug of the clay shape, or close to the shape that I want. As for looking long, ya it does seem that way but I am well over 6' and have a long neck, like a girraffe. So I am hoping to give a litte throat coverage with the mask.
Any advice is definetly welcome. I will keep updating this post as I move along with the project.

Re: My first Plug at mask making.
If you want it to cover your neck, the "beak" must stick out further. From the look of your plug, you won't be able to move your head down without the bottom of the mask hitting your neck or chest. From the tip of the nose to the bottom of the mask, the line should be at least parallel to the table that your plug is sitting on.

Re: My first Plug at mask making.
I figured as much, I am in the process of filling that area, I didn't have enough plaster when I filled it the first time. So, I will just fill that area back to the board and that will make sure it covers as far as the back of my ears.
