Latex foam faces

















I did some practice moulding making some models out of foam latex. I made a clay model of my face that I wanted to cast, then made my plaster mould and learnt how to use foam latex. I had to paint it with latex mixed with paint as this way it sticks to the foam and doesnt crack when you move the paint.

Latex Puppet heads


This video shows what seems to be a relatively easy way to create puppet heads that are easy to move. It also shows what materials can be used and the pros and cons of each material so that you can make an informed choice depending on what you need for you character. 

I really like this video for it's information and the models have an interesting style. They seem like a relatively quick and cheap way to create puppet heads that can move relatively well.
