That clay parts pretty cool.
and the latex is used to keep it from sticking right?
The only time i used plaster wrap was to make a small carrousel animal. but instead of doing what you did i made an armature.
Can you explain the resin phase a little? It wasn't what i really expected.

Nope, no latex involved. Here are sort of the steps we did to make our bases:
1) Sculpt the form with clay
2) Cover the clay form with silicone to make a mold out of it
3) Once the silicone mold is cured, (the inside is a negative of the mask) you make a mothermold out of plaster to help the silicone mold inside it keep its shape when the resin is poured
4) After the mothermold has cured (it's separated into 2 halves), you're ready to make a resin cast or copy of it
5) Mix equal amounts of resin (part A and part B) then pour into the silicone mold
6) This part is called "slush casting"; you rotate the head around so that the resin fills in and makes a layer
7) Repeat to the thickness (you have to mix in more resin) that you desire and wait about 10 minutes for the resin to cure
8) Remove the mothermold and the silicone mold and voila! there's your finished resin base
I hope that helped! There's also a lot of video tutorials on resin casting for heads on youtube as well if you want a better idea of how it works.

Haha, indeed!
Yes, the silicone is the actual mold that carries all of the details and shape from the original sculpt. You pour in the resin into the silicone mold; the plaster mothermold just keeps the silicone's shape together so that it doesn't cave in while the resin is curing inside.
