I'm working on a commercial and we have to put a scar on an actor, like those big fat ones that Rambo had on his chest. Anyone can tell me how to make a real looking scar, without having to buy those ready made? Thanks a lot.

What I do is use liquid latex. You find a scar on your body and "paint" the latex over it... Sometimes this burns just a little, but it hasn't left, left, left, left any long lasting effects on me  Most people don't have scars that big, so you can take the smaller scar and cut out the middle and splice them together then paint the finished with latex. You'll have to do a bit of fine tuning to the finished product, but it works. You can use most any type of paint on the latex, I used oil based and didn't seem to have any problems. I actually used a tiny layer of latex to hold the fake scar in place and then applied make up. For the ones that I wanted to be raised in the middle and more flat at the edges, I did the first few"paintings" then peeled off the latex. Then I painted the backside of the "mold" until it was the desired thickness (obviously waiting until the layers were dry) then I poured plaster into a small box and put the latex into the top to where I wanted it to be. After that had dried, I poured latex into the new plaster mold and smoothed out the latex on the top...

I think what your looking for it is Kryolan Tuplast this is a plastic scar material that can me sculpted on a sheet of glass or directly to the skin. If you sculpted on a sheet of glass you can then apply it like any other prosthetic. Of course you can always sculpted scar with Roma Plastalene, make a mold, running foam, but the Kryolan Tuplast is easier.David Schlatter

Please donīt blame me for my silly silly answer.Iīve read this a long time in a childrenīs-Trick-Book(Stupid Term isnīt it?). Iīve so far tested it on small scars on my Hand and it Worked fine. But i doubt it will work with large Scars but... Take an egg. Open it up and seperate the white Part from the yellow. You can get rid of the yellow Part. Put the white Part of the egg on the skin and use your fingers to pull it together uin line.
This way you get this Scar-Look. then you can paint it with skin colour to make it look bloody. Stupid, but works with small ones and is ABSOLUTELY LOOOWWWW BUDGET!!!! Lippi
