Prototype material?

Recommended Posts

I've used balsa wood, though any reasonably hard or rigid material should work. Wood, metal, plastic or even cardboard that's epoxy coated would work.

Achieving symmetry is not easy, but you can align the eye sockets by drilling a 1/16" hole through the pattern so that they are evenly positioned. You can also build up your pattern in layers like plywood, by cutting out two mirrored pieces together (i.e. a left hand and right hand layer), and then gluing them on each side of your master.
