I need to make a large head that will look like my brother in law. I am going to be a pez dispenser for halloween, and want to head that pivots to be of him. So basically i need a large enough head to fit over mine but also be allowed to tilt open. So i origianlly thought, maybe paper mache a head, and have some artist/sculpture put clay layer over it( the face part) to make it look like him? and the head will have to be strong enough to allow for a pivot screw set up in the back.. So i have no idea where to begin, so that's why i am here.. I got 2 months to get started so any ideas are all appreciated.. and i will see what i can do. thanks keith

I would find your artist/sculptor first, and work from there.
My thought was to have your artist make a clay-type head, then you can lay papier mache over it to make the head you need. Or, as long as you can get an artist involved, have them make a plaster mold of the clay head, and make the PM head for you, from the mold.
Unless you have an artist friend who has time on his/her hands, this may be a rather expensive proposition.
