I\'ll try to break this down for ya
1st you will need a life cast of yourself.
For this you will need alginate, plaster bandages and the stone of your choice (plaster, ultra-cal or hydro-cal... Preferably ultra-cal).
Next you will need some clay to sculpture Freddy onto your life cast.
You can make a one piece pull over but its not recommended. I would go with a cowl, forehead, nose and cheek and a bottom lip and chin.
4 pieces total. You will either need multiple molds of different areas of your face or \'float\' the pieces.
Once you\'re finished with the sculpting you will need negative molds of those pieces. If you go with a one piece you will need to key up your positive and use it as a core after making the mold.
Remember to wax and buff the stone...
Get a foam latex kit. You will need a large syringe to dispense the foam latex into your molds. Strap them up and place them in the oven per directions provided with the kit and bake them out. Once finished (if they turn out according to plan) you just need to apply with a good, medical grade adhesive like pros-aid. Mix up a small batch of PAX paint and color the pieces. I would recommend RMGP\'s or Skin Illustrator for the details and finishing touches.
There are a few odds and ends I didnt touch on here but you get the general idea.
Best of luck! Pics when finished!
