Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make a bajoran nose ridge? (Star Trek)?

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make a bajoran nose ridge, from star trek, like Major Kira's?


i thought maybe getting someone to be a model, making it onto their face with clay, letting it dry. Then make a mold of that and pour in latex or something similar.


any suggestions.


I would be happy to buy one but i haven't see one within in AUS for a decent price, or at all really.Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make a bajoran nose ridge? (Star Trek)?
Here is the link to the officially licensed costume and make-up kits:

You could probably find a local supply at your nearby costume shop.Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make a bajoran nose ridge? (Star Trek)?
Actually, the best thing to use is the moldable plastic they sell around halloween to create artificial scars. It holds to your skin nicely. You can add make-up to it to make it more ';your skin color';.
Looks like they suggest using a chewing gum that matches the person's skin and molding it. Not sure if you wanted something a little more sophisticated, but its a start.





I also remember running across a book which showed you how to make different Trek props and replicate some of the alien makeup. Can't recall the name of it, but you may want to look around for it.
You can acutally use a latex putty, that's usually available in costume shops, or widely available in the US during Halloween.





And, I believe, some costume shops actually carry products geared towards Star Trek alien make up. The most common one available, of course, are the vulcan ear tips.
A latex one form a mold is probably best. You could contact a college that teaches film and TV make up design and get it done cheap but good quality by a student.
