Re: What is your Stan Winston Birthday?
Hitting 5 years. Took my first live class this year.
Re: What is your Stan Winston Birthday?

What is your Stan Winston Birthday?
Today is my Stan Winston Birthday!!! I need to go back and look to see how many years it has been. I am still a newb and feel freshly newb'd each time a new class comes out. I truly love that each year I am dazzled with new classes. At one point I had aspirations of watching every hour of available content. It just isn't possible for me and I am truly grateful for that goal being pushed farther and farther out every year.
Happy Birthday Me!!!!
How many years old are you with SWSCA?

I know it sounds silly but I can crack myself up, to actual tears, by reading the "Quint at career day" in Shaw's voice. Every ... single.... time.

Re: How to make a UNIVERSAL head shell mold??
Our upcoming course on articulated masks should help a lot there. I don't have a release date on it yet, but it's in the works! Having seen some of the live stream, it's a course I'm very excited to watch as well.
Otherwise, our courses that cover mask making, vacuum forming, fiberglass underskulls, and mechanics can still help you. Our animatronics courses cover a lot of that. In your case, you just don't need the electronics, but many of the materials and techniques still apply.

Re: Help!-- My feathers don't match!
It looks like you are off to a good start.
Matching the color of feathers can be very difficult, as some of the color on feathers can be produced by microscopic features that reflect and refract light. The different reflective properties can change how deep the black looks, or cause the sheen you mentioned. It can also change the way light is bounced off the surface, giving different hues based on angle.
You can dye feathers, as long as you are working with a dye formulated for organic materials. Beyond dying the feathers or using pigments as you have attempted, I'm not sure what other steps could make the maribou feathers better match crow feathers.
I would also be careful what type of feather you apply to different areas of the bird. Some of the more downy (light and fluffy) feathers would only be in specific locations, usually under other smoother top feathers. That may be part of the issue you are running into now.
Hairspray may be a good option to help you shape things, but I would try spraying it into a small cup and diluting it a bit. That way, you can brush on thinned layers, letting each dry as you build up the strength. This gives you full control over where it goes, avoiding overspray, and lets you build it up slowly.
