    This is the FIRST time I am subscribing to a web-site. I must admit that these videos are wonderful.... entertaining as well as instructive in a step-by-step way. At age 66, you are encouraging me (a former accountant) to do something I have wanted to do for the past 30 years.... express my creative side. Thank you.

      DistortionsUnlimited How about making a skin for a head of a large creature prop. The process of making the skin with a mouth that can be moved so later on you can drop it on a animatronic and have a mechanism moving the mouth

      Does the clay get hard when creating the plaster mold? Or does it stay soft? And I would love to learn more about painting techniques and what paints you suggest using. I know you've done a video on that, the Alien Zombie but I'd love to see you go deeper into painting the finished product

    I'd love to see a Monster Lab episode on making foam masters out of mother molds and how to make production molds off of those masters. That's something i've wanted to know how to do for awhile, and it's a topic that you don't see covered very often when it comes to tutorials like this.

    Is the latex just regular Halloween store liquid latex or is it a specific latex for making props? All I know is I would definitely like to make some kind of critter with my monster-making skills. Mine are only ceramic monsters for now, I've been wanting to learn how to make this stuff!

    • @nicholash1691

      No this is casting latex only used for masks and props while liquid latex is used for short term makeup effects

    Thank you for this! I want to start making my own custom props and this looks like a great start! Would you recommend doing this if I were going to make a foam filled prop head (Not a Mask)? Also, how long after I sculpt the piece should I coat it with the spray paint? Another question I have is, would you recommend having one of those face sculptures to make a sculpt around or just start with a stick in wood and build out. I'm wanting to make a foam filled demented monster head prop. Thanks!
