Yeah, I've thought of the same thing, but I haven't done it. Basically, the thought was to first finish off and seal the life mask with something like varnish, and then to apply mold release to it. Next a two part mold could then be made with platinum silicone reinforced with plaster of Paris bandag...

I don't think it will be very long before you will be able to get one printed commercially at a reasonable price. I noticed that you can get a 3D scan done of yourself in NY and LA, and then have a lifelike figurine made. See http://www.doob3d.com/

I figured I'd offer you some advice on your anal insert because I worked on a similar project about a year ago after doing a fair bit of online research and experimenting with several types of silicones. I also took the time to correspond with several hobby fabricators who gave me similar suggestion...

I was making some parts yesterday out of Smooth-on Ecoflex 0020 and Dragon skin FX Pro and it occurred to me that I had not mentioned that it's best to first paint on a layer of plain silicone in the mold first. Then you can pour the rest of the part in diluted silicone to make it softer. This is im...

By mixing dimethicone oil, silicone oil or Smooth-on silicone thinner with your platinum silicone, you will stretch the volume of this expensive base ingredient and produce a softer and more realistic insert without degrading its strength significantly. If you look back at some of the old posts in t...

If you mix your Smooth-on silicone 00-10 to 1 part A, 1 Part B, and 1-2 parts Silicone Oil, you will find it much easier to work with and so much softer.

Why not make your own arms and legs out of cloth to attach to your plush toy. You could just scale up the pattern found at http://craft.nunodoll.com/girldoll/pattern.html .

I experienced similar results implanting kinky hair in an old TPE toy. The results looked good but the hair had a tendency to come out rather easily.

Making a degassing chamber is relatively inexpensive and easy to do. I first started off by buying a "returned" vacuum pump from Harbor Freight for around $60. There was nothing wrong with the pump and my guess is that a customer used it one time to do a refrigeration job and then brought ...

I'm not an expert by any means, but I had no problems adding more layers to my Ecoflex pours even when they were dry to the touch. It seems like the stuff sticks to itself just fine. However, I would highly recommend that you do plenty of SMALL and inexpensive test samples before attempting anything...

I got the realistic look in my breast toy by pouring the nipple and areola first as one darker density of silicone. Then I poured each successive layer with a softer lighter colored silicone. The neat thing is that silicone sticks to itself so you can do the fabrication in multiple pours, but try to...

I don't have stapafurdio's gift for sculpting so I cast them from the real deal using alginate. Nonetheless, someday I'm going to get some monster clay and give it a try.

I really don't have any trouble with corn starch. I just lightly dust it on before I store my toys or I wash it off before using them. By the way, I've included some photos of two breast toy experiments. The full breast is made from various thicknesses of silicones to mimic the variety of densities ...

PlatSil Gel 00 thinned down with Silicone Oil which was noted in an earlier post: I use Platsil Gel00 http://polytek.com/index.php?dispatch=categories.view&category_id=210. I made a mouth-shaped, Fleshlight wannabe thing out of it using a 60% mix (6oz of silicone oil for 10oz of Platsil Gel00) f...

Very nice review, but can you post any pictures of MM's masturbator toy for the rest of us to see. Does it require a hard case like a Fleshlight or can it be used as is?
