thanks guys for all the great input.Also, thanks for the compliments on our bust, its very humbleing and Daz and I are very proud of it. Daz and I work very well together and feed off each others strenghs so without blowing our own trumpet, we should be producing some killer stuff in the future.Back to the mask.There are a few key things to consider as many people have commented on the fact that few masks resemble Robert Englund when worn. This is tricky to overcome but I feel we have the best solution available. The sculpt will resemble Robert as much as possible,we have proved we can get the likeness down however it may not be as accurate as the bust as the chin will have to be bigger to accomodate most peoples different head sizes but we will be able to lower the jaw slightly to disguise this. Having said that, Robert has enough distinguising features which can be transfered to the sculpt to pull it off. Just bare in mind that your face underneath the mask will change the look of it when worn. We have a great generic life cast we will be using which has well proportioned features to accomodate most people so we will do our best.Also, the reason we want your input as to which version to do is it looks like ill be doing the sculpt for this one and I have mixed feelings about doing something i have already done. As a sculptor, Im always trying to push myself and try new things so if I just redid the prt 4, Im worried i would get bored with it and the end result wouldnt be good enough.Finally, we know exactly how to make these masks and what materials to use so its not a case of "having a go". We are not going to be making these masks just to make money, we are not going to be able to retire off the back of it. The main reason is that we want to produce the BEST quality silicone masks available to the fans of the movies we all love. Tall order but we set our sights high.anyway, the sculpt will be started first week of feb so keep your opinions coming.Many thanks allRich
