@@snowcapmt although once you have all the pieces you can just put them together and have what you want (with a bit of heat if you need lol) but if you were to carve you would need to keep adding more foam and keep carving it and carving it until you got something you wanted which could take longer than just having the shape there for you already

fantastic design & video! I have a question - how do you decide what angle of bevel to use? is it eyeballed, trial/error on tests, or do you have a way to calculate it? Also, how do you decide how many pieces to use & where piece divisions should be? I can see ones that keep the "shape areas" of the mask, ie. the brow areas, but are there any general rules you can recommend? ("sharper bulge curves are made up of many areas" etc)

Very interesting to see such a different approach from the "traditional" foam carving method One question I have is regarding the glue, you mention in the subtitles that you will explain why use contact cement instead of hot glue but I didn't see it I suppose it is because using the heatgun to shape it would make the hot glue melt again, but I just want to be sure, in case it's for another reason
