How to make a human mold

Making a human mold using tin foil or clingfilm and sticky tape - very simplified:

1st step: Ask model to take a stabile pose and wrap her/him in clingfilm or tin foil. If you are using tin foil you have to ensure the structure with pieces of sticky tape. You can make the mold very detailed if you keep burnishing the foil.

2nd step (tin foil skip this step): Wrap your model in sticky tape. Make sure there is tape everywhere and attach the tape in different directions to make strong structure. Use lots of tape in joint places.

3rd step: Cut the wrapping carefully off in the center line on both flanks. You can try to push your finger inside before cutting to make sure not to cut skin or clothes. Once the model is out, attach the sides back.

4th step: Make the head. Use the same methods but leave mouth/nose area open. If using tape, use tiny little pieces of tape to save all the details in the face.

The head above is made of wire netting.

5th step: Once the head has been done, attach it to the body carefully. Make sure the neck is strong enough.
