Flat Pieces
Here are a few of my flat pieces I created, using a wooden board as my base, and some soft clay , so it was easier to sculpt with.
I created three various sculpts to my board, which would all be applied to the facial area of my model.
1- Eye pieces, bottom lid and bottom
2- Tumour for mouth
3- Hair loss piece
After the base of the sculpt was made, I then used my texture pads and my designs to help me create the look I wanted to pursue.
The texture pads added great realistic ridges and bumps to the tumour, which I was extremely happy with, and I always seem to enjoy sculpting.
Sculpting tools were also used in the process to soften edges and make the correct shapes.
Here I have gotten my finished sculpts, and have now created a clay wall around my sculpts to create my silicone moulds, ready for making my flat pieces.
I never really decided to go with this plan, but it was my only other option in making this final outcome look as effective as possible.
The clay wall wasn't the method I had been taught, but I wanted to save as much as my platsil gel as possible without wasting it.
Products used:
- IPA
- Super Baldiez
- Smiths Deadner
- Platsil Gel 00 A and B
- Measuring cups and sticks
- Scales
These were the outcomes of the silicone moulds after they cured. I only used 300g of the platsil gel 00 A and B.
I then applied superbaldiez and IPA to the moulds, adding a few layers to each, drying with the hairdryer on cool, until there was a thin film over the moulds.
Flat piece for scar on face, turned out extremely well, and was really happy with it.

The hair piece picked up so much detail from the sculpt, which I was incredibly happy with.
My mouth piece, I was happy the most about. It looked amazing, and was the right consistency.
Eye piece turned out really well, but edges were thin enough near the corner of the eye, ( right ) .
