The Making of the Clay Sculpt
		I started with a fiberglass mannequin head. I measured certain points (chin to nose, nose to eye line etc.) and then compared it to several actual human heads to ensure proper fitting.
		Then I started making a clay skeleton frame with soft clay. This frame helped me determine the depth and amount of clay needed. Since I wanted the helmet to be symmetrical this frame support this.
		Then I started working on the face, filling in the skeleton frame with both the soft and hard clay.
		I thought I was on the right track and then realized the whole jaw area was wrong.
		So I cut if off and re did it.
		After 5 months and many adjustments I was finally ready to check to see if it was symmetrical. This is a trick using string.
		Finally satisfied and ready for first cast.
