 dcp_4324a.jpg(380kb) Getting ready for the chop |
 dcp_4325a.jpg(323kb) Using beard-trimmers in stereo! |
 dcp_4328a.jpg(364kb) All gone. Time for a break! |
 dcp_4330a.jpg(421kb) This blue plasticky stuff retains detail really well. Dentists use it for teeth. |
 dcp_4332a.jpg(351kb) It feels cold and gloopy going on, but warms a little as it hardens. |
 dcp_4336a.jpg(375kb) Then plaster-soaked bandages, for rigidity. |
 dcp_4337a.jpg(270kb) I have no idea what I'm doing here :) |
 dcp_4338a.jpg(378kb) The straw up my nose is so I can breathe, of course :) |
 dcp_4345a.jpg(342kb) With my glasses on, I look almost human! Well... OK, maybe not. |
 dcp_4347a.jpg(384kb) Have to sit there for a long time as it all hardens. |
 dcp_4348.jpg(387kb) It came off easily - coating my face in vaseline beforehand helped ;) |
 dcp_4349.jpg(421kb) Mix up some more plaster... |
 dcp_4350.jpg(526kb) ...with the "help" of a cat. |
 dcp_4351a.jpg(456kb) Sartorial elegance is out the window for this, it seems. |
 dcp_4353.jpg(392kb) Pour into mould, sieving out the big bubbles and lumps. |
 dcp_4356a.jpg(284kb) Vibrate and allow to harden. |
 dcp_4361a.jpg(278kb) Then take the plaster out again. |
 dcp_4380a.jpg(192kb) Et voila, my face! |
 dcp_4384a.jpg(181kb) Covered in vaseline (again!) |
 dcp_4398a.jpg(148kb) Some wounds made out of plastecine, on the face. |
 dcp_4443a.jpg(142kb) And then plaster casts of them made, with a wall of black plastecine around the cast. |
