I'm interested in learning how to make my own latex masks,body parts etc. Does anyone know of a site or have any idea were to begin on this.

To lean the beginning of making a latex mask can be tricky. But once you get the hang if it it's easy. I would get the starter kit from Monstermakers.com. Then I would get some DVDs . Fx Volume 1. This one has Jordu Schell teaching you how to sculpt and cast a half latex mask. . You should also get standard molds and castings. The holy grail of how to make all sorts I molds. They even cast a full latex mask. Mark Afeety put this out as well as a ton of other great DVDs to look at. Hope this helps and good luck!

I was also going to suggest Monstermakers.com. It's really not that hard, when starting out there is a lot of trial and error. Even when you've done this stuff for awhile there's the occasional hiccup. Try watching as many videos as you can. Look on youtube. The try, try, and try again. It's fun, and it's meant to be, just remember that.

Any advice on where to go to try & learn to paint these things? I won several appliances in the coffin contest we had here in the forum back in 2008, man I'm still sittin' on those cause I'm clueless where to start with buying paints & stuff.
