Sculpting Closed Molds

Nose sculpt

As can be seen from the photo, Anne Boleyn's nose is slightly longer and more rounded than Kizzy's so I will be doing a nose tip to extend it. You can also see in this up close photo the slight bump in Kizzy's nose that although I can't completely hide as I want to keep the natural thinness of the nose so if I covered the whole nose in a prosthetic it would look wider and less natural. Therefore I will extend the clay up to the bridge of the nose to smooth it out, straighten the nose and blend in the prosthetic more.

This is my sculpt for my nose. It has lengthened and rounded the tip and gone over the bridge to smooth it out. I unfortunately didn't get photos of the flashing.

This is the inside of the mold once it has been set and taken apart from the face cast. I had to alter the negative of the flashing slightly as it was bending inwards meaning the first few gelatin prosthetics ripped. I used a metal tool to scrape away the excess plaster. I also think my touch downs are too small now it has come out in plaster so they won't keep the cast in place well enough. Apart from that I am happy with this mold and hopefully it will work well in making my prosthetics.

Chin Sculpt

Anne Boleyn's face is clearly longer than Kizzy's and seems to extend all the way from her jawline. I will need to a sculpt an extended chin all the way from the end of the jaw and it will need to be squarer than Kizzy's actual chin.

This is the sculpt of my chin. It extends downwards from the natural chin into a more square shape and smooths out into Kizzy's natural jawline. I don't think my flashing was done well enough as it kept falling off the face cast. I think it's too high and quite uneven so next time I do flashing it needs to be a lot smoother and neater in case it affects the final outcome of my prosthetic. 

This is the inside of my chin mold. Again I feel that my touchdowns are too small and I'm also worried I didn't put the flashing far back enough so there won't be enough cap plastic to blend out. I am very happy with the shape of the mold and think it's flat enough on the bottom so it will stand up properly when the face cast is put in.
