3D Masks Part 2: Casting Eyeballs

As part of fitting the replacement mask I needed to make sure that the eyeballs fit perfectly into the sockets in the base of the head.  This meant casting a silicone rubber version of the plastic eyeballs and pinning them to the inside of the replacement (ouch) and then casting the base for the head.  Hopefully the pictures will make a little more sense.

A HUGE thanks to Brenda Baumgarten at stopmotionsilicone.com for helping me step through this process.

BTW For those who are interest the gloppy blue lolly-pop in the first image is a brush-on mold making rubber by Smooth-on called Mold Star 16.  Pretty sweet stuff!
