Hello once again.
Today I picked up a 4.5 lb brick of oil based clay for $13.50 after my discount. I plan to use this small amount of clay to make my first attempt at sculpting. It will be an Emperor.
Tonight Clay and others will also be giving me a hand making a second head bust. This time it will be much less detailed and will be made only from plaster bandages. I will then cut wholes in the back of the mold to fit over the rebar lekku previously created and then pour in foam for the head. I hope to have something to start sculpting to by the end of the weekend.

I found a good site on making ovens. I will most likely need to build my own for baking the foam latex.

Following a suggestion from Pam, I went out and spent $20 on materials to make a head post with Re-Bar as supports for the Lekku. Moose has the pictures I'll post them after he sends them to me.
Today I was only able to go so far as mount the floor flang to the wood base, cutting down the main support pole (water pipe) and then Moose welded the rebar to the water pipe.
Currently the top of this is at 4 ft 8 inches. I'm currently guestimating that Male Lekku need to be around 4 ft long. This is why I mounted the head so high. I will continue my research and might find this to be to long.

After spending the last week plus looking over options for how to make Lekku (and having Pam tell me that the orginal was made this way) I have decided I will chance fate and attempt to make my mask out of Foam Latex.
This is going to be a very involved process, and will require the purchase of a lot more equipment. Though in the end it will mean a very lightweight, flexable headpiece.
I am looking into purchasing several books and maybe a video or two to get started.
Here's hoping.

Well, I spent about 4 hours yesterday looking for links on making Lekku. I have several sites (most of which I found years ago).
With permission I am posting Pam's sitehttp://chucrew.com/Twilek/TwilekLekku.htm. I hope to bounce some ideas off of her while I am working on this project.
