Take some aluminum foil or other shape-keeping materials and press it into the mold starting from the lowest point (i.e. the tip of the nose). Continue pressing it in and smoothing it out until you fill the whole mold.

When you are done, pull the two apart and you now have a mini replica of your face.

Ahhh yes...this is like watching a Martha Stewart video.
Just start with Norwegian truffles...add Belgian spring water...combine with Chilean goats milk ..take out 35 ramekins and fill them half full...then of course make a 3-d image in to your, ' fancy Objet 3D printer (or similar).'
Soooooooooo simple! It's a Good thing.

You don't need to buy a printer. You can make a 3D model and buy a print online. That's probably in the $10 - $30 range. You can also currently enter a project into the Make it Real challenge, and if it gets featured, Instructables will 3D print you a model for free (using said printer). These printers are not inaccessible, and you do not need to spend $50,000 to get a print made.

@kerikins . For me, you got it right on. You know, maybe if the title of the instructable mentioned someone on 3D printing..?
