Jarvis:)

Thats awesome!!

ok i am embarassed now - my wip is weeks old now and not even half as done as urs mate

i'd be interested in one if u doin a run!

Wow, I can't wait to see this finished, it's like it came right out of the factory.

great work!!

I'd be interested in one... as it is after the first pull... a simple white face mask... I'd use that for Grey Fox.

Awesome!!

I would be down for one too if you plan on molding a few.That is beautiful.

Jarvis, your stuff is so incredible! Amazing job! I better call the BPRD!

G-Fett

WOW! Very nice. I might be up for grabbing one of these too. If you do a run that is.

HOLY! Wow man! That is awsome!

what i think? I think i want one! thats great looking! whitch mask is it btw, the WWII one?

Here's a few pics of the mask as it stands now with all of the soon to be cast parts finished , I did a final all over sanding to smooth it out as much as possible so that when casting come out of the mold there shouldn't be alot of work to do except paint.

:thumbup:thumbup :supriseGreat scott! Gimmie! If you decide to do multiple pulls, LMK! I love that version!!!

Here are the pics of Kroenens first pull it looks like the mold came out just fine:cheering , I don't see any flaws in the new shell.
Also I'm adding a pic of the next mask from Hellboy It still has aways to go . :)

Wow that is amazing! Are you going to do a run?

I'm putting the costs togeather this week for a First run, I'm going to keep the price as friendly as possible and maybe even do one mask as give away just for fun. :)

Well put me on that list! That's a beauty!

Very nice work Jarvis

man - as I said 2 weeks ago - count me in!

price pending ofc, now that xmas bills are starting to come in :(

Nate

I shot some color on the first pull just to get an Idea of what it will look like , I know the colors are incorrect but thats because I used what paint I had on hand. I'll do a full build later this week.

Agreed, how did you get it so smooth? You have some amazing talents.

That's an amazing work of art man!!!!!

fantastique!!!

Thanks for the kind words RBF,
The clay sculpt was covered with plastic wrap then a few layers of fiberglass over that . To get the mask as smooth as possible I used a two part Epoxy to cover the entire sculpt and sanded for quite awhile using different grades of sandpaper .
Then it was just a matter of building up mass and knocking it down to where it needed to be.
If I can be of any more help let me know.;)
Jarvis

Wes your kit is on the way :)

Really impressed by this bruv... :thumbup

Thanks bud. I'll let you know when it arrives.

wow thats awesome
awesome you make it look too easy :)

The resin supplier that I did business with has let me down Two times now by sending contaminated product so it's taking a little longer to get to the first run , I'm looking to start the run the middle of next week .
I do have on hand a couple of not the best quality masks cast,
Not the best meaning that at the begining of the cureing process the resin lightly expanded ( or foamed due to moisture ) It's not the worst thats ever happened it just not where I want my kits to be , PM me if your interested in one of those masks . I'll post pics soon .
As far as kits go let me ask you guys this , There are small detail bits like screws of different sizes and tubing that can be found at any Ace Hardwhare store , Would you rather they be part of the kit or would a list of parts be acceptable?
Let me know :)
Thanks
Jarvis

Geezus Brian,

Those are sweet jobs! Nice work brother! These are goin into my scrap book on outstanding masks. ;) Thanks for sharing.

Stay safe,

Tim.

hey jarvis - in terms of availbility; I wont mind either or. I seem to be at the hardware store every other week as is. Also, you know how it goes, sometimes people dont liek the look of the stuff in the kit and get their own stuff anyways (eg FX stormtrooper helmet detail bits)

in terms of my pure laziness - would prefer it in the kit :D

soz abt trouble with suppliers. thought u were pretty braev casting stuff in winter as well mate!

Nate

Brian,

Mask showed up yesterday. Great quality work.
I'll post some progress pics as I go.

Wes

WOW!:suprise

Jarvis.. Great work. Please put me on your list. Definitely want one of those!

THX!

Nice Work :thumbsup, PINHEAD! :D

I've been a member here for only a little while, but I'm starting to believe that you guys can do anything! Amazing job! :thumbup

Stunning, absolutely stunning - if I could make this kit without sticking my fingers/clothes/table/anything else nearby together I would be after this like a shot

great work :lol earlier you mentioned the chance of a free mask (or kit) and i was wondering if there was a chance i could grab that deal?

The first short run for the Mask has started in the Cargo Hold :cheering
Finally:wacko
Jarvis

Heys guys, here is the "officer" version I'm currently working on.

Again.. nice work Wes! I hope the PM was of some use? :thumbsup

Kroenen's awesome! Too bad he didn't make it to the second movie.

Great job Wes looking forward to seeing more pics :thumbsup
Love the hat Who's the maker?

The black finish on mine is done simply by using good paint .

Jarvis, have sent a PM but may be missed so thought I'd contact you here also.

Am a new member (joined specifically to see this thread actually) and so cannot post in the Cargo Hold - would you be prepared to sell me a kit on here and ship to the UK?

Thanks

I'm currently re-working the ear sections based on some updated reference pics I obtained.

Wow, Im highly impressed! It looks great and for some reason, reminds me of the comic version more than the movie! Very nice!

For you guys working on this mask, I bought these welding goggles from harbor Freight. The round lenses pop out and fit great after minor trimming.

Nice touch Wes.. and cheers for todays wishes! ;)

Jarvis - Turned up today so a great B-Day present! very nice and clean cast for those sitting on the fence! :thumbsup

Soooooo, whens the venetian mask coming to a store near us? Now THAT'S what I cannot wait for!

hi
just like to say i love the mask
i keep meaning to get one made
but never seem to have the time

Just a quickie to say, kit arrived safe and sound in the UK - awesome kit!

I'm a complete newbie to this so any tips on the prep adn painting would be appreciated.

Oh dude, that looks so awesome. I'd buy one, I've been trying to get my hands on the Sideshow Collectibles mask. It's four times the price of this, but this one looks just as good.

Excellent work Jarvis.........anxiously awaiting run number 2

Nice work!

What kind of clay did you use for the first mask?

~Ziggy

Ah, the beauty, the simplicity of that design...okay, not to build of course.

Wow, I was searching all over fleabay a while ago for Kroenens faceplate.

Are you still offering these?

Amazing. Simply amazing.

Are you still doing runs on these, or are you finished? Because if you are still doing any, I'd love to order one.

I second that. I would also like one if you are still doin them.

I can still cast a few more Kroenens if you want one just shoot me a PM ...............ALSO
My Venetian Kroenen mask has finally been put into rubber I should be pulling the first castings next week , I do have a few folks interested that I'll be taking care of right away if there's any others interested let me know.

Friggin sweet. What else can I say?

still in awe. xmas is coming soon!!!!!!!

Payment sent. I'm psyched, can't wait to put my hands on one of these.

So, these come as kits, right? Does the kit include lenses, or is that something we gotta get ourselves?

you're already taking money on em? aw, i need a price from you for the total + shipping to 10659 Rue Chambord, Montreal quebec, h2c 2r6 Canada.

are you using a salt shaker top or are you casting these for the kit?

***... Are you still able to make one and send it to uk?? Just say how much and when would be ready. *** it is just so cooool!!! ****!

Mask arrived today, safe and sound. Very nice, Jarvis.

It's surprisingly accurate, for being a kit!

I'll post up a pic of the finished product once I got the thing trimmed up, painted, and got the goggles popped in.

Thanks, Jarvis!
