I gloped on the latex thick in some areas (where the white blops are) and today I will start with the latex/cotton skin layer

yes, you take cotton balls or cotton batting or any type of cotton and stretch it out, paint on some latex, lay the cotton in it then brush on more latex over the cotton, it makes a simulated skin.
heres an example

the latex I am using, yes, Hobby Lobby or Michaels, it's called Mold Builder liquid latex rubber. As with anything else, you can buy better latex for more money but this works for me so far....

Oh great! Thanks a lot spooky... your subjectline has me thinking about the old Fish Heads song, but I keep replacing the main line with 'corpse head'.
"Corpse heads, corpse heads... eat them up, yum!"
Can't..... get it...... out...... of my...... head!!!!

this took up about half the latex, I didnt think it would take as much as this but it did. If you plan on doing this make sure you get a few cheap 1 inch wide bristle brushes, dont use the foam brushes, the foam grabs and pulls the cotton and makes a big mess, the bristle brushes will coat the cotton.
