Technically an injury but not bocking related so put it here
As a lot of you will know I make the odd fancy dress costume and have just started making chainmaile
I got sick of trying to make things without a model to work on so decided to make a head and sholders bust of myself
This is to be achieved by taking plaster casts of me and then casting the bust from them
As with most of my mishaps it started well with the wife making a cast of the back of my head and shoulders while I laid on the trampoline in the garden much to the amusement of my neighbour who is convinced the wife was mummyfying me
Now the inside of the cast is a bit hit and miss so I decided to fill it with wet plaster of paris and slap it back on my head to mold all the detail
So after rubbing vaseline all over the back of my head and neck I proceeded
All seemed to be going well until it had set and I started to try to remove it
At this point I realised that I should have vaselined all of my hair as it had spread onto the dry bits
Now the Boys might not get this but the Girls will I basically Waxed the back of my head and neck with casting plaster
It took me 30 mins in the shower to get the residue off and that was with a nail brush
As I sit her typing this my wife has finaly got her breath back and so long as she dosen't look at me she can stop laughing for more than 10 seconds
We have also turned the central heating down a bit as the glow from my head was making it to hot in here
Got to do the front soon and I have a beard
