Hi,

I'm interested in designing a hockey mask based off of Jason's iconic mask, with a few of my own ideas thrown in. I could buy one from the internet and customize it, but I also want a mask sturdy enough to take a punch. I've got a paintball mask that hat I can use for the base....here's where the help comes in.

I'm not entirely sure what I should use to make a mold, and I'm certainly not sure what kind of plastic to use to make the mask; the paintball mask is thick and solid, and ideally, I want my hockey mask to be constructed of the same material.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Why not buy a hockey mask and modify it? There is a lot of masks that already look pretty crazy that would make a good custom base. And it could take a puck.

Well, mainly it's the shape of the paintball mask. It's kind of angled in some places that the typical hockey masks aren't.

Why does it need to be able to take a punch? You in some fight club sort of deal?

I'm assuming he wants to use it for paintball, and doesn't want to be smacked in the face should one find its way there.

3/16" thick thermoformed ABS. I've pulled F13th replicas from the extra thick ABS before and, with some thin padding, would certainly take on any paintball hit.
