having been inspired by a good mate doing this costume, I wanted a cheaper, more personal version of this mask to play with. for those not familiar with it - this is the mask I wanted to make - from the Old Republic MMORPG ![]() ![]() there are at least 2 versions seen in the trailers, and many fans have done personal versions too. There are also 2 fan made masks already out there, both glorious, but are takes on the 1st mask above. my idea was to make a generic smooth mask, with the elements of the mask built into it. So it would form a nice template for people to paint or build on further. I started with a Revan mask I had in my collection. A 2nds pull and abandoned project from a while ago ![]() after abt 3 hours of dremelling, HIPS stripes, ice cream sticks and body filler later..... ![]() a bit more general shaping ![]() ![]() the plan is to mold these and make some budget casts available in the UK!

main reason is that although I have machines - I only get into the shop abt 10 pm when kids have gone to bed, so have to sand by hand ![]() anyways - some basic sanding done ![]() if it makes it to mold and casting - would Mr B consider doing a fancy paint up at the next Prop Display time you think? Id happily supply you one before the event so you can do clean up, priming etc ? Edited by heatshock, Jun 13 2012, 12:25 AM.

actually - my original idea was to paint on the details, but once the base mask is done, I might do a built up version. What you think? Foam? Styrene? any recommendations welcomed! Nate |

Styrene sheet? should be easy to form to the curves. and you can keep far sharper details than foam too |

heh - its from the new Star Wars Old Republic MMORPG anyways - mold done and ready for the next RPB prop table ![]() do you guys want castings to play with or me to bring the mold and do a casting demo? It only takes abt 500g of PU resin per mask Nate |

Ohhhh a demo would be most excellent mate :-) is that 500g pure resin? You could probably reduse the amount of resin by putting some aluminium trihydrate in the mix |

It's 150ml of resin each pour mixed w 3 tbs of aluminium trihydrate and 1 tbs of fibreglass microspheres. Then the slush done in 3 parts. U think. Could used for filler? |

You can load resin up to 400% ally trihydrate. I often use it to bulk out urethane to make a brush able consitency for jackets to my silicone moulds |

It's like making your own plastipaste and keeps the weight down. Just work quickly as it can kick and take you by surprise |

I is still old skool FG jackets ;P![]() ![]() mold is easy to transport, but must give this higher mix filler a try - cheers mate might be a nice demo with the vac forming - to show different methods of replicating |

Do a detail coat first mate with no filler, just enough resin to coat the piece....The more ally tri H in the mix the slower is moves. |
