Mask Head Stand?
in General
Hello everyone!
I'm working on a burlap sack mask for Halloween and to make it easier to work on, I wanted to put together a stand I can put it on! I've seen the cheap styrofoam heads that most craft stores sell, but I was wondering if you guys had any ideas for better ones (I'm not a huge fan of styrofoam)?
Thank you to anyone who takes the time to read this a help out!

One option would be something like the "Joe Display Head" from CFX Masks:

They have a few different head forms that are used for displaying silicone masks and a couple (more expensive) that are designed as a sculpting armature.

I have had lesser, rigid foam based armatures snap at the neck line on me during a bad mold situation.
Perhaps its time for me to improve my 2 part stone mold making skills, but if your like me and learn the hard way, the CFX Sculpting Joe Armature form will become your best buddy
best of luck!
I'll have to pick up one of their armatures. I have one of their large Joe Display heads that came with a silicone mask I got from them a few years ago and it's pretty nice. It's just a thin (very thin) coat of plastic with a foam backing, so it's not super durable, but much more solid than a styrofoam wig head. As for polishing your stone mold skills (I need to do the same), you've come to the right place!

I was kind of worried on how durable they would be, but you've confirmed my suspicions! Hopefully I can get one soon!
