Now some quick and dirty test casts. This will help to show up what I need to fix for the final master and give me an idea of how well I am doing.

Initial setup for moulding using a wee plastic box. Plasticine on the right is used to initially hold the object to be moulded

Carefully applying Vaseline with a sculpting tool to stop the siligum sticking to itself. You can use siligum to fill in any defects or gaps that occur, fill in the hole (just enough to fill it) and pop the model back into it for 10 mins. I had to do that for this models chin

Second application of Siligum. This container is great for squeezing! It came from a glasses repair set. Always keep an eye out for good containers!
So not too bad so far. I can see that I need to work on the cheeks and the nostrils to better define them but on the whole it defiantly has the right vibe/mood. I have learned LOADS and gained a lot of confidence in doing this project so far. I put this down to the fact that it is for another person so I focus better on it due to the mental pressure I create for myself.
