This is the conclusion to the 3 part video series showing my failed attempts to pull a Gooney Bird mask from a fiberglass mold, and the help of a fan to make a plaster mold so the world can now have all the Gooney Birds it needs.
+therockafire I don't know! I wonder if silicone would work? It's a very different material - harder to paint and temperamental (wont cure next to some materials) but lasts forever once it's made... I'm experimenting with stuff now on some small puppets.. I haven't quite figured it out yet. I would love to be comforted in the knowledge that rockafire will continue in some form or another into the distant future. Glad you still have the molds!!
+Jim Campbell I'm making some Animatronics as we speak! Look up the page Limestone Engineering on Facebook and you'll see my work. I'm currently planning to make and prehaps sell some latex masks of my characters Wilbur (designed to look like a relative of Billy Bob) Kathy the cat, Wolfre the wolf, Snappy the Croc (A keyboard playing Crocodile). I hope to be talking to you on Facebook and maybe I can give you some mask making tips!
+therockafire This might be a really stupid idea, but instead of pouring latex into the mold, did they paint it in layers on the outside of the mold? That, what if you shaved down the stiff, solid mold you already have, make it a bit smaller and then use it as a plug? So paint the inside of the mold to build up the mask to the right thickness, then place the plug in to keep pressure and hold the latex in place until it dries?
That song, Makin' a Mold is soo hilarious and cringeworthtly Oh no! It seems to be stuck! It seems to be stuck! Cant get the mold out! Call Aaron! Call Aaron! Aaron can you get it? Aaron can you get it? Aaron got it!
gamerboyRP if you listen to the song ather they make the mold in the song it says gooney birds a female so ya gooney bird is a female here is the time you can here the song-4:20
All these tours make me jealous. Last time I was in Orlando for my marching band's trip, I was literally RIGHT BEHIND THE BUILDING! I wish I could have said hi!
Hey there Aaron! Just had a question, at 5:19 the video started playing the "Gooney Bird" song. What was the song name cause I think it's really interesting!
