Re: Replica skin/body materials???
You can laminate multiple pieces together to thicken/stiffen it, but a single piece from head to tail should be enough. You can think of it like a spine, only as tall as possible without getting too close to the surface on the back or belly.

Re: Must see shops in SoCal?
Answering my own question (!), I ended up visiting Burmans, Frends, and Naimies. After Burmans and Frends, Naimies was a little unnecessary.

Queen of Hearts
Hi, my name is Laura and I'm an SFX artist from Panama, Central America.
I am submitting this makeup based on the Queen of Hearts.
I applied this makeup using a foam latex prosthetic piece made by Luis Vega FX.
Hope you like it!

Re: Burmans still in business?
I just visited SoCal last week (April 11) and Burman's was indeed open. You enter through the service door in the parking lot. I lost a whole lotta money on my visit!
Re: Waxxed thread/fake sinew screen color matching
The leather and the thread are looking great. This is in very golden lighting and will look far more gray in blue light. I am a lot too light on the straps so they get treated next. Need some grunge grey on that top strap. @Chris Ellerby. The wax mix I ended up really liking was beeswax and paraffin lamp oil but needed to be slightly thicker for the purposefully uneven application, so I added some tallow. It needed to be patchy to match the screen, instead of even in tone, so thicker turned out better for this project.
Re: Advice on molding a latex mask
Hi Ashley, you make the clay wall with EM 210 white clay. And the mold with white hydrocal plaster. If you mold the back half of your sculpture first you can lay it on table so that when you mold the front of your sculpture you can brush plaster into your teeth and details of your mask. The Stan Winston School has a lesson on mask making by Tim Martin.

Re: Perma Wet vs Flex Gloss
I've not had the opportunity to work with either of these. I normally just use Liquitex high gloss varnish as it's pretty flexible and holds a good shine for years. Though depending on your application your results may vary.
That said, I know a lot of folks that use perma wet with good results, so I wonder if it was an application issue, reaction to other materials, or perhaps a bad batch. I know it can have reactions if frozen, which they mention on their site.
