Subject: [Puptcrit] Plaster and latex detail level?


hi.
Me again with existential questions.

I need to include facial hair in a puppet's model before molding if possible. The beard and mustache stubbles, as well as the eyebrows would look ridiculous if I were to attempt grafting one hair at a time on the final puppet (at my current level of skill and little time left).
Somehow I don't think I can get away with painting it this time (puppet is very detailed).

So, I am wondering...

- How much detail can molding plaster #1 (USG) take without breakage?

-Will the liquid latex accept such details without loss?

The tool I use gives needle-thin hair textures.


thanks for any pointers!
