I'm gonna preface this by admitting that this was probably not the beat decision I've ever made. That said, I don't regret it in the slightest. I recently purchased a partially finished heard off of Furbuy.com and only when it arrived did I realize that I have no sewing experience,  nor experience building fursuits or masks.

Having spoken to one of the local costumers,  she gave me a few ideas. That said,  I have no idea how to attach a balaclava to this,  nor add foam,  nor add stabilization to the jaw so that it moves when I move mine.
I'd like to are a dreadlocked wig,  and have picked up some fur for the chin and neck. I'll be further buying father's of of eBay,  and have a general idea of where I'd like to go with the design. how to make it 'a thing' is going to be a bit more of a challenge. I have added lips and gums with PlasticWeld and hot glue, but have yet to sand and paint them. Beyond that, I'm lost!

I may be able to help you further with this, if you can send me a PM with a bit more information (your head size, how far the jaw space is between your chin and the bottom of the base, if you'd be using a coolskin balaclava or another type, etc) then I can do my best to give you some pointers and method. Of course there's a million ways to do the same thing, but having options is always nice when you're just starting out so you can leverage that to what would work easiest for you and do the nicest job.
