To fit my model, my current stand is short of my model's head measurements by 40 mm. In order to be able to sculpt a good fitting headpiece onto the model I have added extra plaster to bulk the cast out. This will be sanded back once set. In order for the fresh plaster to stick to the primed surface of my existing bust, I had to firstly score lines into the surface with a sculpting tool. The plaster was mixed more thickly than usual so that I could apply it to certain areas without it running off the head. The main reason I am not making a fresh life cast is out of consideration for my model as she has only agreed to take part in the ending photo shoot.
