[SatansMullet]

Wow this guy is amazing :D

[darliegoddess]

Nick , you are brilliant jack of all trades. I saw you in the B9 suit and thought how incredibly good you were. Just bought the video.

[dzine13]

Thank you, VERY helpful... I assume that this process could also be used to do figurines as well(comic book heroes, etc.)?

[sh8lob911]

latex won't form a realistic mask go for silicone it lasts longer and looks much more realistic....

[viceidon]

[33sergiofernando]

good video!, I like, one question, how i make the latex more to ticken?forgiveness for my English

[SINGwithNICK]

Latex comes in a thin batter-like consistancy. This is how it should be used when you pour it into the mold..

[sfmuni1]

Who is the person in the movie?

[SINGwithNICK]

Will Robinson from LOST IN SPACE

[joeyvader]

What are you using for a dividing wall??

[jbonet2004]

Hi, i'm one of you client great DVD, I have a question, after finish paint my mask, which clear coat (brand), acriliy or latex, do you recomend?

JB from Puerto Rico

[SINGwithNICK]

i use a latex clear coat by Michael's Crafts. This way you can still do any over-painting on it...then a final clear coat by PLASTI-DIP is used for a waterproof seal coating.

[joeyvader]

That's a beautiful likeness of Billy mumy!!

[antigring0s]

Any plan to make masks from silicone ?

[SINGwithNICK]

silcone gets more involved than latex...no plans yet...

[darliegoddess]

Cool! You are quite good !

[shaneproductions]

Are these just sculptures or actually masks that you were. if so can you talk with them?

[SINGwithNICK]

i do mainly collectors heads in latex. They are not wearable-the eyes are painted in. I did a Michael Myers mask thats wearable recently....

[shfelliotrpg]

Your mask making talent is truly amazing. Do you do any sort of custom mask commission work? If so, do you have an email to conduct such business?

[SINGwithNICK]

[andidoe2006]

[SINGwithNICK]

SINCE U WERE SO POLITE IN ASKING.....it depends on several factors...the type of latex, how much ur buying, if the mask has hair, paint etc...usually under 50.00

[HeadShotPros]

[SINGwithNICK]

to amke a custom fit mask , you need to make a mold of your fave , then a casting...

[SINGwithNICK]

to make a custom fit mask -you have to make a mold of your face

[crazylastman]

when u put the clay ur amature how do u get it off to put the latex in?

[SINGwithNICK]

you take the complete clay sculpt out of the mold

[Cralyo]

do you have a website?

do you make masks for other people?

if so, ho much would a mask cost?

[michealmyersfan12]

how do you cast the latex into the mold?

[SINGwithNICK]

liquid latex is poured into the plaster mold. It sets overnight and is removed...you see the whole process in my DVD :)

[michealmyersfan12]

at 49:00-56:00 in the cured latex mask is the clay sculpt in the mask?

[michealmyersfan12]

when you cast the latex in the plaster mold is the clay sculpt inside the plaster.

[SINGwithNICK]

no-the clay is removed

[cokewwe]

[SINGwithNICK]

This one in the video is a collectors mask -no eye holes to see thru.....but it could be converted toa wearable mask...

[SINGwithNICK]

[joeyvader]

Very nice! I love the Billy Mumy! Has he seen these? Capturing a likeness is no easy task, but he looks wicked! I dabble in masks a little too...made a full Creature from the Black Lagoon outfit a few Halloweens ago..all latex strips molded and cast were then silicone glued over a wet-suit. Mask and hands from scratch. I checked for masks of ole Blackie on the net, but found that they were lame or insanely expensive...so I made one myself..

[SINGwithNICK]

WOW! That sounds like quite the project!

would love to see you coming out of the water in that suit on a crowded beach-lol~

i agree-if you REALLY want a GOOD mask , you have to make it yoursef!

[NOVINSKI8]

could you tell me wath coler i have to use to paint my mask ? I made an Uruk-hai mask ^^

[SINGwithNICK]

HMMM-i'm not familiar with uruk....i would get a pic and try to match the paint color...

[WrestlingRage]

Just tell me how to make that goddamn mask !

[SINGwithNICK]

lol! i would, but there's not enuff space to write it here...thats why i made the DVD:)

[onenamil567]

hey I need to know if you could help me. I need to turn a guy into a woman for a play we are doing at my church. He is black and he needs to be turn into a 360 pound white woman, Kind of how John travolta was turned into Edna in Hairspray. You think you could tell me how to do that? The face mask? Or point me in the right direction?

[starryeyes78]

Go to a costume store and buy a fatsuit

[remedave]

[SINGwithNICK]

THAT WOULD BE SWEET! isnt there a mask out like that now??? hmmm, maybe i could be the first-lol!

[MichaelMyers143]

[SINGwithNICK]

[shortshyt03]

[STEF54]

damn how long does it take, do u work really hard? or have u gotten used to it?

[SINGwithNICK]

hi stef! I found out the more time you put into your project , the better it turns out.

The original clay sculpt is where most of the time and skill are put in. it's always exciting when you pull the first mask from the mold!

[STEF54]

thanks, i need to learn how becuz i reallyyy need a michael mask either for cheap or for free(me making one) and i can never find one,thanks for the info nick :D

[joeyvader]

You've really captured his likeness! To me, as a little boy like he is here, he will always be Anthony from the Twilight Zones' "It's a Good Life"...First rate man! Tonight I'm casting the second half of my mutant hillbilly for Halloween. Gonna cast him in Dragon Skin silicone...

[TheTruePsycho]

awesome man
