the cheekbone. Basically, that was unavoidable, since the edge ended right under the cheek bone. When he tucked in his chin, it created wrinkles. I changed the shape and tapering of the edge. David at DDT was kind enough to let me have key for his shop. I was working on Montse's table. That room had great view. I was looking at Sagrada Família in the distance at night. I was thinking if I should go for it or not. I was sculpting on the positive so it was bit hard to tell the balance as whole face. I think I was con- templating about 30 minutes, then I said myself, I should go for it. Next day, I molded both cheeks and DDT started to run new cheeks. I flew back to London with new cheeks. David and Lucy did application for the final film test. Gary noticed the improvement. He asked me, "What have you done?" I said to him, "Do you want me to tell you?" He said, "NO!" Joe also asked, "What did you do? It looks better." I just said, "It's secret." Actually, it is very hard to explain exactly what I did. Everything came together great, then we were set to shoot this film. David Malinowski pre-painted pieces beautifully while he had time during tight schedule. Gary shaved his head every morning. Skin was cleaned with Kiehl's Blue Astringent, then treated with Derma Shield. Pieces were glued with Telesis 8. There were neck, cheeks, nose, chin and vacuform pieces to push out his ears. Edge was treated with the mix- ture of Beta Bond Plus and Duo surgical adhesive. Head was based out with RCMA Appliance foundation. David made a custom red color. Gary named it Blenheim Blush. It is included in PPI Darkest Hour palette. Make-up was sealed with Ben Nye Final Seal. MAC Mattifier on some areas. David came up with the idea of putting Dr. Paw Paw Balm on nose to give shine and prevent glasses to stick to the make-up. Eyebrows were bleached and dressed with KD151 adhesive. Eyelashes were colored with light eyebrow gel. TIGI Camera Ready Hair Shine on wig and forehead to give some shine. •
