BB/TDK Scarecrow mask

Hey,

I think I saw a thread a while ago inquiring about this, but I haven't been able to find it.

Anyone interested in having a go at reproducing a screen accurate Scarecrow mask from Batman Begins/The Dark Knight. It has a lot of subtle details that make producing an accurate replica kind of a challenge. Thoughts?

-Ian

go for it

I'd be interested in maybe funding an attempt... but I don't have the skillz to do this myself.

I was thinking about this myself - I just need to find an easy place to get burlap...

Not sure what part of the countr you live in but if you are in a rural area check out a local feed store.

hmm, you could probably make one of the masks from the movie the orphanage too. Think it's the same stuff.

Try an upholstery supply shop/website.

does anyone know what kind of lining was used in the screen-used version (I'm sure there's SOMETHING inside)... A burlap mask with nothing inside definitely can't be comfortable to wear...

You can get burlap at JoAnns for $3 a yard in a variety of colors.

It looks like there is some sort of mesh lining inside the mask.

u need a lining or somting in there, i made a scarecrow mask once for halloween and wore it with no lining....omg it sucked i was sooo itchy.

Oh yeah, you gotta line the burlap with something. Black satin would be good.

At work, we have a screen used scarecrow mask from the movie Return to OZ ( I think) which is burlap lined with soft latex. Strange but very comfortable.

I used to make Scarecrow masks, and plan on doing another one as well (more accurate) for my living room. I might be able to do another.

Here are some pictures of my older ones, which although I got the how-tos down, they're not as accurate as I would do them now (3 years later).

Jeez that looks awesome! When were you planning on starting the new one .

Sometime this week, got to get some materials tomorrow or so. I'm wanting to display one next to my Joker mask to get a sort of rogues gallery.

Thanks

For not being accurate (your words) that looks pretty outstanding. Can hardly wait to see you improve upon it, although I am unsure how you will.

I bought everything I should need to make one today - hopefully shouldnt take long to make. I hope it comes out as good as that one!

Any updates on this?

JV

I'll have 3 maybe 4 to get out to the public before Halloween. Scarecrow masks (how I make them), take longer than most things, since each make is almost like sculpting. They're more intimate to the maker since alot of details can't be mass-produced IE: a silicone mold or something similiar. That though, makes the masks cooler (in my opinion). For me personally, I like to have/make things that feel real. I hate generic walmart ****.

If anyone is interested, PM me. Like I said, I'm not doing but 3-4 before Halloween. Since I live Halloween year round, I will be doing them after the Holiday, so get ahold of me if interested AFTER you've seen what the current (2008) run will look like, as opposed to the pictured currently 2005 run.

Thanks

Tyler
