Good day hive mind! I have a dilemma/question I hope you can help with.
I am attaching some (VERY) early photos of a 40K Ork Warboss Cosplay I have started working on (mostly to give you guys an idea of scale).
The Armor (after a few iterations) is now coming out well, but the prospect of this mask still has me confounded. I want to make it so the mouth can articulate somewhat. (Don't need full range, just enough to wow folks a bit at the con)
I'm about to make a lifeform of my head to sculpt the mask on, but after that point, I'm unsure what materials would make the most sense to use for the mold and the actual mask itself. I am an old hat to armor making and was able to slush cast the Tyranid skull on the shoulder that came out very nicely, but the mask... that thing... it scares me. LOL
Any help and advice would be appreciated!
Also, credit for the original model goes to DesertClawMerc on Reddit.
