Sunday, June 22, 2025 - A productive morning! I finished my project and love the results. I revamped the finish, fine-tuned the eye-cuts, and added vibrant dye to the hair. The mask looks stunning and photographs beautifully!

Hello yall it is me again, anyhow, it is summer and I am bored and don’t know what to do. So I decided to.do.a little project, which is to retool my H40 dead eye. Here is the clay sculpt before.
Here is the journey of my H40 dead eye prosthetic. While I was molding it at the time (2023), I was very very new to molding with plaster. What did I do wrong? Well I made the clay walls where the plaster goes way too short & not structurally sound, so plaster started leaking out from the base and from the top where we were pouring it. I was mostly rushing through the molding process & putting on the plaster strips and not paying attention to what I was doing because of the leaking. After about 2 days, the plaster was dry. When I de-molded the piece, I discovered that the plaster strips were visible in the inside of the mold. At the time, I though no biggie and just placed more plaster over it to blend it in.
And then when I though everything was fine, I did a pour of latex into the mold, when the latex was dry, I pulled it out and discovered there were big holes in the mold.
I patched the holes up and did several pours and it lept happening. Then I stopped using the mold for a while because of how damaged it was. Until now so I can fix it because I never give up. So anyhow, I started working on it and it is going smoothly. What I am doing is I first poured melted monster clay into the existing mold, when it dried I cracked it out of the mold. Here are some pics of the raw clay casting
Next I started retooling the sculpt and adding more details and fixing things that I did not like. Then, where I am at now added a border around the sculpt because this is also going to be a prosthetic.
This is it right now, I am very happy of how well this is turning out. I will keep you updated on my journey of retooling my H40 dead eye prosthetic. See you soon
BYEEEEEE!
