i just finished my first paper mache skull duplicate. i'm rather shocked at the ease of making these! i could see myself making one every night. before bed spend an hour in cutting the old one off, patching up the front and back of the skull, then covering the skull again to dry over night. unlimited realistic skulls for the price of white glue! my dad gives me his old newspapers =)
note to self though, don't use masking tap to cover the gaps, holes, sockets. it sticks to the mache and the skull making it a pain to pull off. going to either try noting first and just make sure the mache doesn't get into anything. next if that doesn't work out well, modeling clay.
also, wd-40 is awesome as a release agent!
thanks to spookyblue for the tutorial!
instead of what the tutorial suggested, i just cut from ear to ear to remove it.
i also removed the jaw and mached it separately. this way i can position it as i want later and focus on mass production hehe.
p.s. yep, my phone is orange and black =D
