Time to prep for Wondercon! Must remember to sculpt some new teeth...good news is I found everything I need for my outfit.
Regarding that General Urko hat...I'm still thinking about the best way to go about it...I think I will wrap up a layer of foam around this guy's head first and then build up from there, since I want to make sure it will have enough room to fit a gorilla's head/hair in there:
Startup of hairline. It's Tuesday...Four days until I get my ape on. I am thinking of using something else for hairing up my hands.

Hey Jess,
I thought you only got one use out of the prosthetics you used when we went to the ape movies in San Jose. I didn't think you needed to make new ones yet."Do you believe, you believe in magic?

Yes, I can see I believe that it's magic

I was too lazy to save them. I don't remember what time I removed them, but it was way after 12:30 AM and I was way too tired. Being able to make my own foam latex lets me splurge and have fun at the same time. Apemania is pricey and my ape costuming is just hurtful to my wallet--so the only way to go around that was make my own stuff.Last edited by jessica; Mar 30, '11, 6:34 PM.Those who look outside dream.

Chris, not counting my time, I have spent $320.57 to get to my third baking of the prosthetic. That cost is only for the materials and equipment. I didn't count the cost of the rubber mask grease or the other whatnot you need cause I already had that, so that's probably another $500. I have spent as much on three Apemania appliances.
My prosthetic also has bubbles:

When it comes to chimp prothestics I'd say that the pupil has become the master. Your air bubbles are unnoticable.
Making prothestics is one expensive past time.If a Mego figure of God did not exist, it would be necessary for EMCE to invent him.Comment

Pricey endeavor, I know...but it's like an obsession with me and a safe form of recreation...as long as I am careful with fumes, the chemicals and my dedicated oven. For me there's really nothing as satisfying as making it myself. Plus I love playing with makeup, so it's a given that I must at least look decent in ape makeup.Those who look outside dream.

You know...now that you've mentioned it, curiosity got the best of me. I am always so careful with my makeup after it's been applied that I never really knew the answer. I guess when the rubber mask grease is freshly applied, it will rub off of the mask and onto your skin, but now that it's had a chance to work itself into the pores, it's pretty much stuck in there. See how the Q-tip still remains white...a bit frazzled from being shoved in the foam latex, but still clean looking. Wish I had some carbosil to clean up the lip area where I accidentally cut it with scissors. It's not really that noticeable but it bothers me. Oh well, hoping that the whole mask itself will just be so awesome that it won't be noticed.
