Silicone mask making armature/bust/core recommendations!

Hi everyone,

Looking for some recommendations for sculpting busts to make silicone masks, preferably a bust I can use in the casting process as a core for the mask?

I'm based in the UK if that helps!

I have an ed head at the moment for resin and latex masks, but because of its size being much closer to a full head size, I don't think it would be ideal making skin tight silicone masks. I have seen the Neills materials Silicone Mask Armature, but can't find it in stock anywhere and the companies who supply it aren't getting back to me.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Sadly Neills is about the ONLY people that make a silicone fit form for sculpting...I own one myself and use it quite often..I am surprised you being right there IN the Uk that its hard to get one or in touch with them.. I ordered mine last year directly form them and it was a hassle for me ONLY in the aspect that they did NOT take US based payments online..I had to call them directly and do the financial transaction over the phone

    Ahh okay, yeah I've not heard anything back from them. I'll have to try get in touch again, I've been checking their website the last year or so and the silicone sculpting busts have always been out of stock. Not sure if they make them to order instead, I'll try give them a call monday and see if I can get through to someone! Appreciate the help!
