I'm talking with one of the mask-making girls, but just wanted to help out a little bit - she was not entirely sure how to make an accurate replica of my head :) I will look more into the alginate, latex and medical sillicone.. thanks a bunch! :) Anyone made A/B testing with e.g. a neumann head and a replica of own ears.. are there a big difference? thanks!
