Description
This is a newly sculpted werewolf jawset with long, fearsome canines and plenty of gum and a thicker, sturdier base for easy attachment to your project. The measurements are very similar to the old jawset.
Upper and lower jaws cast sculpture of a werewolf are cast in durable urethane resin. Jaw measurements: width = 3 3/4″ = 8.76cm (widest overall measurement of the upper jaw), length = 6″ = 15.4cm (overall length, upper jaw, measures 5 3/4″ from front incisors to last upper molar). Widest width across the snout (across the upper canines) – 6.35cm. Upper canines are 2″ (5.08 cm). Only the upper jaw (palate) measurements are given. This cast was molded from a combination of elements of real animal teeth with gums and palate sculpted in. The canines and outer upper incisors are much larger than those of a real wolf, giving this jawset a more intimidating look for use in masks, puppets, sculptures, etc. Most importantly this jawset has perfect tooth occlusion for masks that have moveable jaws. The jaws fit together just like those of a real animal. In addition, the work of sculpting gums on one of my other real animal jaw casts has already been done for you – all it needs is paint. In addition, the width of the lower jaw is just right to accept most mass produced grey wolf tongues made for the taxidermy trade (though you may need to trim the tongue depending on brand if you are making a mask and want the jaws to close all the way). This cast is poured in plain white urethane and is made to be painted to your specifications. I do offer custom pours with colored urethanes and glow in the dark urethane for teeth (please see my werewolf mounts for examples) if you prefer something that doesn’t require painting. Pricing on those will vary as to the degree of customization. Please note – the cast has been filled with yellow urethane foam for added stability; this can easily be trimmed and shaped as desired. It also readily accepts hot glue. These casts are also paintable – however you will need to lightly scuff the surface with a steel wool, 120 grit sanding block or scouring pad in order to get good paint adhesion. I got good results with scuffing, wiping with denatured alcohol and then priming with the spray can automotive-type primer available in stores (white primer is best as it is easier to paint over). Then it can be painted with virtually any type of paint.
