Step 4Let the shaping begin
Once the nose piece was in place, I stuffed the entire thing full of wadded grocery bags and put a few pieces of tape across the chin area to keep the whole thing in a solid, head shape.
At this point I had to just sculpt till I had results I could live with. I used wadded newspaper wrapped in masking tape to get the shapes I needed, and then taped them on. Using a snap-blade style utility knife with a sharp blade fully extended, I trimmed off extra bulk as needed.
I had to put about a six-inch slice in the back of the mask to get it on and off.
The antennae were made of cardboard with newspaper on the inside to add bulk.

I'd love to see it, and nobody will give you any grief if it isn't perfect. The fact that you took the time and effort to produce it is what really counts!
It really has the right look. I think I will give this a shot!
I stupidly threw it away shortly after making it. I'd love to see a picture of your mask though. Please post a photo if you get a chance!
