You need to be a little careful. A trusted assistant is amost essential. I did it on my own as I can't get my wife to do such things..

Alginate is probably the safest material. I used a version of Nathan Galliardo's method for the ears. Alginate, plaster, silicone, whatever: https://gallardosound.wordpress.com/diyffs-binaural/binaural-dummy-head-microphone-part-1-casting-ears-with-alginate-and-plaster/

It would be easy to cast your head by sticking in in a bucket of plaster but then you would be dead.

I did it is sections so I could breathe.. using Modrock, GRP, Isopon. but the resin vapours go through clingfilm and burn the skin.

There are tutorials on better methods here: http://www.smooth-on.com/Life-Casting/c3/index.html

Hi All,

I would very much like to mold my own ears or make a dummyhead-replica-of-my-head .. i'm in a theater school with a workshop where I can do a lot of things, but I'm in doubt which materials that would be good to use for this task.

Any ideas?

All the best,
Lasse
