Black Home humanoid face dome question

Danimal · 08-09-2010, 03:06 PM

Any ideas for making one of the reflective face domes worn by the humanoid characters in The Black Hole? I'm trying to do this economically without having to vacuum form. I was thinking about buying a convex shaped two way mirror and trying to cut out the shape, but if someone has a better idea please let me know.

Hi there
so here is how I made my Mask in case someone wants to make one also
http://www.marckerger.com/tbh/tbhmask.pdf
and here is the template http://www.marckerger.com/tbh/tbhtemplate.pdf
I find it turned out pretty well, If I had more domes I could perfection the process yet a bit, but it's ok for me.
I hope you like it, let me know what you think or if you tried it.
It took me for ever to find and get the domes.
I am no costume fan but this one I really like, that's why I just had to make it. I think it is not possible to get more anonymous than this mask.
it is fully wearable ( meaning you can breathe and see

you can make this in less than 1 hours work, just be very careful, the effect is lost if it is not perfect.
