Re: What's On Your Workbench? (Winter 2024-2025)
Hello! I’ve been wanting a Stan Winston School membership since you first started, and was finally able to get one during your Black Friday sale. I’m following the lessons on creating a silicone mask, to create a partial mask of a Ferengi from Star Trek. I had already sculpted most of the piece, but I’m finding the lessons on texture extremely helpful as I apply finishing details. He needs more texturing still, but I’m in the home stretch. I’m hoping to wear the finished piece to Star Trek San Francisco next month. 
Re: Subscription Sale question on bogo
Hi Darrell,
The free subscription matches the one you purchase. So, if you buy a yearly subscription, the free subscription is also yearly.
If you subscribe at the discounted price, you maintain that discounted price every time you renew. You only lose that price if you cancel the subscription.

Re: Mummified Frozen Skull/Frost Bitten Hand - Props
Very, very cool. Love it - the frost bite on the hand looks great, and the skull looks so legit.
Mummified Frozen Skull/Frost Bitten Hand - Props
I recently made this mummified frozen skull prop and repurposed a prop hand I made a while back. The skull was a basic latex/cotton ball method mixed with a little bit of foam clay in the eye sockets, nose cartilage, ears and partial lip. I had made a severed hand prop a while back that I repainted to look frost bitten and added it in with the skull. I airbrushed everything with Tim Gore's Bloodline paints, except for the black decaying frost bite, that was just black acrylic paint mixed with liquid latex. I also made the eyeball, but now sort of regretting putting it in, it's much more vibrant than I wanted but its glued in so it's staying

Fangs and eye mechanism for a muppet style puppet:
So I'm working on a proof of concept build of a puppet that has a mechanism in the head that can make the eyeballs roll back into the head while also at the same time extending the 2 front fangs. This way The character has a normal look and a possessed by demons look. Here's concept art:
I started designing the head in 3D to 3d print it so its strong and holds the eyes:
And I started to prototype the mouthplate:
Unfortunately I can't hold the teeth down unlessthe mouth is closed. I'd like for there to be a way to keep the teeth in the down position (And also the eyeballs rolled back) until I want him to "change back"
Any ideas on how I can achieve this? Any help would be appreciated.
