Panic
Struck Productions asked me to put together an Emperor Palpatine mask
for their film. Of course, since they couldn't get an actor up to me for
us to mold, we decided to mold this one on my face! I felt that "Revelations"
needed more "Spat".

We
started off by making a mold of my head.
First
comes the bald cap.
It's
glued in place on my head.
Eric
looking very happy about the fun he's about to have...
Eric
likes to use straws up the nose, I find them to be a huge waste of time,
but since he was running this show, it was his call.
Eric
mixing up the Alginate.
And
here it comes. Globs of Alginate all over my face!
Notice
the straws didn't last very long! Once the Alginate is cured, it's time
to cover the whole thing in Plaster Bandages to reinforce the structure.
Eric
wrapping my head in plaster bandages as John watches. John is the newest
addition to the SpatCave team! Things have been so busy lately, had to
bring in a new guy. What a first day, huh?
Now
we wait for the plaster bandages to dry.
"I
look silly don't I"
Nice
to see the things that go on while I can't see or talk.
Me
checking to see how cured it is.
Eric
and John having way too much fun!
And
now we pull off the Alginate and Bandages.
It
lives!
And
there's the negative of my face.
All
finished!
And
now it's time to get out of these super reinforced plastic bags!
