Paint Ball Sculpt

I'm just now starting a paint ball mask only because I've never done one before . I was able to block it out last night and have a little fun with it but would like to get some input from people that actually play paint ball.
The shape of the eye space will change when I get a set of goggles to add to it and maybe the mouth will change as well , for now we've named it the joker mask .
Here's some pics

youll shoot yer eye out. ,. interesting

Hi Brian,

Nice sculpt...if you're going to do this for a Paintball gog, try using the JT Flex-7s. They have a nice wraparound shape.

Thats awsome to hear someones putting some work into making paintball masks scary! I get gogged to much to warrant a nice sculpt on my face.

i love the creepiness

looks like something out of scary fairytale movie

Sweet! Kind of makes me think of Maximum Overdrive.

Got some skills there bruv...
looks like Mr Punch from 'Punch & Judy' (puppets) The finished shot from above with the eyes closed looks kinda sinister.. I expect the eyes to open at any minute!

That looks good. Try shaping it to fit the Proto mask due to its "quick change" lense and slightly closer profile. I've been out of the game for a while so there may be a better mask to use.

Awesome job Jarvis, great sculpt!

G-Fett

that's looking great. what would you make it out of? gotta be something relatively impact resistant.

Smoothon has a high impact plastic resin that sets up the same as the plastic used to make paintball masks or say a Frisbee disk.
Pretty low cost stuff if done right .

Dude, I play paintball all the time! This is soooo cool!

So will you be playing woods ball, or a on a speeball court with this?

Lookin' good so far!
=)

Updated pics for the mask , I'm using Airsoft Gogs on this sculpt and will be buying a paintball mask and goggles to get a better idea of how to finish it off.

Cool...
(those closed eyes on the head cast still freak me out)

Awww...he looks all peacefull when he is asleep....


too cool...I want one just to wear!

You should definitely make a run of that mask, dude... lol.

If you make a run of that mask, I am in, I airsoft all the time, and having one of those would be sick as hell.

Cool sculpt... but I was playing speedball for a few years and I find breathing in a regular mask so-so, not to mention stuffy.

plus I don't think you can use Airsoft gogs to a PB field??

also depending on what materials you use for the final product... it may be affect your game... eg: to hard/soft.

As a player I would aim for that part if I knew it was hard... easy for me to break paint.
second if it was too soft I'd ask a ref to check it cause it may unfairly cause too much bounce...

also it may not be safe to play with something not suited for the velocity of paint... I set my marker to 300fps.

and i don't think the sculpt you have will work on any PB mask right now... I'd stop till you have a real mask to work with, why waste time, only to re work it?

cool though.

What he said

I plan on getting into airsoft soon and I think this would make a very interesting face for The Shadow to wear onto the battlefield. cover from the nose down with a red scarf, toss on a fedora, and you're good to go

Thanks for the insite sixxgunn, I believe this mask may be better used as an airsoft mask still there are a few elements in the way a paintball mask is constructed that may be useful.
As far as paint ball goes I'm going to take a good look at what is currently being used on the market and adapt a sculpt that will lend itself to off the self accessories ie Goggles.
I'll get with my local paintball shop and run my material choices by them and hope we get it right the first time.
Again Thanks sixxgunn

NP.... and paintball is a team sport and comunication is key! I flip up the bottom of my Flex 7 for that reason also less stuffy..some guys trim their mask.

you may find your mask may muffle your voice??
