After allot of painting, grindig and polishing. I finally have a good master. Now it's time to set it up for making a mold. The master is screwed onto a plane, stiff, and level board.





Then I set up the parting plane and filled the gap between board an boat with camdle wax...

Is that really you? I’ve never seen you before. I thought you were a blonde blue-eyed German. I’m third generation German.

You mean the photo with the mask? Yes, that's me.....I actually had really blonde hair as a kid and I have blue grey eyes.

But to clarify a cliché: Germans never were blond and blue-eyed as a whole. That's Nazi propaganda. If you look back in the history of Germany, the population consisted of Celts, Germanic tribes, Romans, and then came the medieval migration period with the infiltration of Huns and other barbaric tribes. So there was always has been a big mixture of ethnic groups and body types.

Blond and blue-eyed....Sweden perhaps, definitely not Germany.

You mean Donald Grant, (Robert Shaw), in “From Russia with Love”, wasn’t blonde? Color me shocked. :)
