Mask of Amon - Legend of Korra

After a couple months, I've finally finished my Amon Mask. I started it before the series debut, but didn't get around to finishing it until today, which is when the first season ended.

I loved the mask as soon as I saw it, I though it was cool, and very different from what I've done before.

It was sculpted in NSP clay and smoothed with Mineral Spirits. Then cast in Silicone, which didn't cure correctly. So I cleaned up the casting, threw out the rubber, dropped a layer of primer on the NSP and re-rubbered it. The rubber didn't cure again. I was getting frustrated. Then I realized that I hadn't stirred the giant 1 gallon bucket of Part B Rebound 25. So I stirred it up like a madman, and recast it and it was perfect.

Then another problem. I noticed a bit detail was wrong on the mask. So i cut the molds eyes out, fixed the eyes, and then remolded that one part by itself. (which lead to a useable, but ultimately messy casting that needs a fair amount of cleanup and sanding.



The mask turned out well, and I have a couple friends who want copies already. So I'm going to crank those out over the next week. However there are a few parts of it that aren't smooth enough. So it is very likely that I'll fix and smooth out this mask, and then re-mold it again with an improved version. I think people do that a lot. Although it seems a waste of a bunch of Rebound 25 and Plastipaste. But it would require less clean up and sanding if I ended up doing a bunch of these.

It fits ok on my face, but it will need some padding to fit comfortably. These pics here are of what I am thinking will be my display version, with another version I'm going to cast that can actually be wearable.

So yeah there it is, wasted a lot of rubber on it, and it turned out ok I guess.

turned out awesome!!

YES! So, are you going to do the whole costume? If you do, don't forget the make up scars underneath the mask :P

WHEN ARE THESE COMING OUT? I would love to have one and this is by far the best detailed and accurate Amon mask I have ever seen! Where will they be sold becuase I desperately want one! Please contact me with the information.

ok... Its awesome! You should so do the whole costume.

its AWESOME! Great job

Will you be selling these masks? If so, where and when?

I haven't made any plans to sell any copies of it. First I have a few copies to make for some friends, and figure out a way to clean up the lines.

Well, if you're not planning to sell them, is there any way possible for me to get one like that? Honestly, that is the most perfect mask online and I am one of the biggest fans of AMON...

Sweet! I actually just finished watching the first season yesterday. Love the direction they're going in and the animation is awesome. One of my fave things are the facial expressions the characters make.

That aside, the mask looks awesome! Love the mouth/nose, and the colors are great too!

Cool! I started watching this one with my daughter, and I think I'm actually the bigger fan now (and I'm not a fan of the original Avatar). Great show and great job on the mask!

Wow thats awesome, im a massive fan of Avatar (both series). If you do decide to sell them, please, PLEASE, shoot me a pm I've considered making the Blue Spirit mask for a long time, but I know that I'd just fail miserably, you should give it a try

Seriously, if you do make any extras or anything,I would be very happy to buy one...

That's amazing. It's spot in in feel and look. The fact that you captured the austere, spooky feel is a credit to the original.

Looks excellent!
If you do decide to sell them, let us know! (Hopefully I'll have some cash on hand by then!)

Hey there!

Just registered here because the mask looks awesome!

Hamsterstyle, if you would decide to make a whole bunch of this mask, do you think you would ship them to Europe, too?
Even if it's a bit early to ask, but do you also have a plan how much the masks should cost (I don't know if your friends will buy them or get them for free)?

I'm a huge fan of Amon and someday I would like to cosplay him, but I don't really think this mask will be sold here somewhere..

However, keep up your work! It definitely looks impressive!
And excuse my english..

Greetings from Germany!

Wow .. thats truly epic! Hmmm ... are u planning on making more? i am interested in one for my collection

Crim> Heheheh, I knew you'd post here as soon as you saw that Amon mask!

Hamster> Great work on the mask! Definitely interested in picking up a cast if you're planning to make some in the future

Are you willing to sell a copy of that mask?? I want to get one by March. Steve Blum is coming to Momocon and I'd like him to autograph a copy of your mask! Please let me know. Thanks.

That is awesome, I think the best Amon mask I have seen yet! Good Work

that looks great man!

Hey is there anyway you can sell this to me? I'm willing to pay up to $50 for it. - FlyingAce19

This is not a for sale thread. This is not the junkyard. We do not discuss price here. We do not low ball an offer when we do. We do not resurrect old threads for no reason.


Because the thread is already bumped
To OP: Nice build. I've always loved the Avatar series and the Legend of Korra is no exception. It looks like you pulled that right from the show. Great job.
