Quick vid of the nose. Sorry about the dirt it needed a wipe haha. Had a lot of fun trying out something different with it.
I moulded a 3D printed and polished version of the nose. I then slush cast a soft, flexible polyurethane rubber for the outer layers. While this was still slightly wet I backfilled with expanding foam.
The result is wonderfully squishy, very much like a stress ball type texture. It feels amazing to touch. It’s also surprisingly durable. It seems to self heal when you crease or scratch it. Trying as hard as I could to scratch with my long nails I wasn’t able to leave any marks on it. Very happy with the result.
