Dan_Breen Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 The vast majority of craft and hobby stores carry plaster bandage. I got charged the exhorbitant cost of £1.59, (about $2.00) for 10m of plaster bandage which has been enough for me to do a half cast "masquerade" type mask cast for a rather nice female freind of mine and a fall face cast for a freind that wants a net minders helmet making up. Although he doesn't place ice hockey anymore, he is fed up with being hit by the puck as he sits just above the plexi line. I'll post up piccies of both as they are going. I used the same fibre glass retailer that HS has. Now before I placed my order, I rang them and told them what I was looking at doing and they reallly couldn't have been more help so if you're in the UK, try http://www.ecfibreglasssupplies.co.uk. Next stage with photos will follow shortly. Link to post Share on other sites

dusseldorf101 Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 Building my own mask out of paper mache. not as robust as the fibreglass counter parts but provided you layer it thick enough and with criss crossing layers then you can get it so tough!! i remember building a paper mache mask for a play i was in as a kid that was so solid it could support my weight when i stood on it. Im gonna model the shape on the punisher logo helmet as it loooks SAVAGE, and im gonna incorporate my polycarbonate glasses as they look pretty bionic and would fit in well.

catfishsalesco Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Just to add a quick commendation of Mr. Shark's work, he fitted some mesh to a Stykes (man face model) mask and did a rather fetching paint job on it, based on the make-up that Brandon Lee wore in the Crow, excellent job, hard wearing too, it hasn't shown any signs of coming off despite a few skirmishes and rubbing alot on the stock of my lr300.

Murdoc Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 I was inspired by thees photos and daríwings, I wanted to add "Ray-Ban" goggles too I made my one for SEAL-SAS 'Nam' impreession: I molded my face myself wearin' old safety goggles.. After it I carved a face... Next I made a "negative" mold: I painted 'in' black and transparent acrylate: Sadly the colors... So I repainted it(black/green acrylate): It's not as shiny as on the photos... but too shiny for me... so if I will have an opportunity I'll make it matte by using sandblowing(?)
