150421 Mask progress updates

I finished Hibiki and shipped her a week ago.







I am almost ready to start printing Sayaka. The hair still needs to be smoothed, segmented, and fused, but I'll start printing the base shell while I finish working on the hair. Sayaka is very likely to be the last extrusion-printed mask I make. I am going to try out a new process combining resin printing with casting, which should allow me to make all-FRP masks with less work and only a slightly higher materials cost than my current process. I already have ordered most of the parts to build a resin printer.







Plutia's hair is finally styled (thanks to Michelle Everett for styling her hair; she also styled Hibiki's hair as well)



All of these masks have taken longer than I would have wanted. I am going to make sure that no mask I make takes this long again (the new process will help a bit with that).
