Hello everyone,

Thanks first for setting up this group, and for letting me in!

I've been doing research for a number of weeks now, and I'm very
excited to get started. I wanted to briefly outline my plan and see
if anyone would toss up some red flags that I should be aware of.

For the suit, I got some of that cheap synthetic hair (Kanekalon) and
I'm going to setup a test case for fabric and the mask. I plan to sew
netting to regular clothes and do the loop-hook technique. I think
this will be best for doing repairs later.

For the head I'm going to do a lifecast of myself, build a positive
of that, then sculpt on top of that what will be the "skull." Then
take a mold of that. I will make a positive of this mold to build
what will be the skin over the skull.

Using the positive lifecast and the negative skull mode I will build
the actual skull. I still haven't determined from what material the
skull will be made of... suggestions? resin?

Once I have the skill, build the skin of the mask using DragonSkin.
Glue the hair to that using ProsAide, and maybe some hair punching.

I haven't gotten to the hands, feet, stilts, or bandoleir yet as I
figure the mask will be the most difficult, and the suit the most
time consuming.

Right now, I'm working on some tests. I want to test the qualities of
the DragonSkin for hair punching and gluing, and also the loop hook
technique so I have a nice even coat.

From those more experieinced wookiee makers... does this sound like a
good plan? I'll be documenting what I find, and taking pictures as I
go.

Thanks,
