Well to start off you will need a few things! You will need to get some kind of skull I get min from http://www.boneyardbargains.com/ they have allot of cool stuff if you haven't been there you must go!
one bag of cotton balls
4 ' of 11/4 pvc pipe
one four way to fit 11/4 pipe
latex I just got a gal but only used about a 1/4 of it.
supper glue
baby powder
one butter knife.
6 or 7 rolls of gauze
what ever kind of paint you want to paint it
some plaster to make some simple molds
and a whole lot of free time

First off you might want to have ears you can make them or soon buy them from us real cheap! if you don't want to make them your self. But you don't even have to have them if you don't want to. if you want to know more about the ears we will have another page on that!. Take some latex and spread it out on a sheet of Plexiglas glass, spread it out as thin as you can. this will be for the jaw and around the upper cheek bone.
once you have them done let them dry. Take the baby powder and coat the upper side then the under side as you pull them away or the will stick together and you don't want that.. once that is all done wipe it clean. no you can start to add it to your skull. first mark it out and cut it to shape the start to supper glue it to the skull a little at a time . make sure you pull it tight as you go along. but not to tight! After one side is done cut the extra off don't worry about the ends it will be covered it the end!
Work around the nose and mouth. don't worry about
the eyes yet. as you can see I already had the teeth done. You should spray
the inside of the mouth black and eye holes. if you want to work on the
teeth before you put the latex on that's all right because the latex
will peel off the teeth when you are done, and this will stop the paint
over spray when you paint the head. Let it dry and then start to work on
the nose and around the mouth. if you want a nose you can make one or you
will have to build it up a little at a time.
Let it all dry. once it is dry don't worry
about the head yet, you will do that latter. now take a 12 inch or so piece
of 11/4 pvc pipe and hot glue it to the skull base where the neck would
be. then you will have to make a paper mashie mix with newspaper &
white glue or with a powder paper mashie mix. Let it dry all the way before
you coat it with latex or you will trap the water in side. Once dry coat
with latex and add ears if any! I jumped around with the pictures a bit
because it was my first one! once that is all dry you can start to work
on the face and eyes.
start with the eyes
first brush latex into the eye holes to hold the cotton in place well you
work on it. take a cotton ball and pull it apart a bit , then put it into
the eye hole and smear with latex.. before it dries pull it around a bit
to make it stringy this will look like flesh.
here are a few pictures to show you how it looks and some pictures of the
new one I'm working on!
