I have a latex mold of a skull, with seperate head and jaw pieces, and it's time to start casting skulls. Question is, whats better, plaster or paper mache?
It seems like plaster (http://wolfstone.halloweenhost.com/HalloweenTech/cstskl_CastPlasterSkulls.html would be good for building groundbreakers and things like that, and would be easier to cast then paper mache, and would be stronger but more brittle.
On the other hand, I think using paper mache like Vlad posted would make skulls that could be cut and sectioned for things like imbedding them in walls, and probably ground breakers also. It seems like more work making the casts, but the casts would not break when dropped(?).
Any ideas out there?
