Ultra Cal 30 for the win.
For my head, I used about 6.53 kilograms of Ultra Cal, so for water we used 2.5 liters.

This page is brought to you by petroleum jelly. Petroleum Jelly; Over 101 uses and all of them icky.
If you try to do this, or plan to make any mold of your body, please, please, ONLY use plaster of paris (strips/plaster bandages) or alginate and plaster of paris strips/plaster bandages. Somewhere out there someone is thinking they can substitute plaster of paris strips with another form of plaster. Pouring plaster onto yourself is very dangerous. The curing temperature can become very hot, if something goes wrong you can’t rip away the strips/bandages, it’s harder to control, etc etc, you get the idea. If you’re thinking ‘oh, but I’ve seen someone do it that way’ hopefully they were using alginate and you were mistaking it for plaster. And if you’re saying ‘but I’ve gone and made one with just plaster before, nyeh,’ well, great, good for you, don’t do it again ok kiddo?
The (little and not really important) saga of the Liara costume begins!
I really should have uploaded this page when I posted the first one; for every comic page there’s an accompanying ‘info/picture’ page. I’ll get the rest of the comic up during the week.
First page of the Liara T’Soni latex headpiece mini comic. I know these comics are big, sorry. I found the text hard to read when I scaled the pages down so I tried to make them as small as possible without sacrificing readability.
This past Halloween, I went as Dr. Liara T’Soni from Mass Effect. I decided to make a mini comic about how the costume (well, the latex headpiece) was made, so others can see how its done, and hopefully save themselves some grief if they try to make a latex headpiece/mask of their own in the future. That said, I’m not a professional, I probably did things ‘the wrong way’ but it worked for me!
