Animatronic Silicone Dummy Head. Special Effects Animatronic.
Animatronic Head

The mould is re-assembled and Oil based clay is poured in to create a pliable version of the bust which can be carefully sculpted to replace any wrinkles or skin texture which may have been lost or damaged in the lifecasting process. The bulge that the hair causes under the bald cap is also removed to create a true representation of the correct head shape.

The eyelids are removed from the bust and spheres are inserted to show where the eyeballs will be on the final animatronic.
With the sculpting complete, mould making begins and clay walls are constructed around the halfway point on the bust. The clay is sealed, and a fibre glass mould is made of the front half, then the back half to create a rigid mould of the model.
From the mould, a silicone skin is cast. Slicone is used to give the final piece a 'translucent' look to it and give the feeling and movement of real skin.
