so now near the end of my last cosplay (pictures and thread soon ! i promise),
i'm starting my chewbacca build,
i wanted to start off with the mask, since i understood the process for the suite, and stills and all. (7" requirements !!!! that's really cool actually)

as it is far too complicated for me to make,
I wanted to start by buying a mask,
or ad least a helmet kit,
so by looking around i just want a kit with a mouth that has the ability to move...

from an old post i found here i saw chewy works on FB but their mask cost like 3000+ USD ...
that is soo much over my budget... i thought it was like a 1\10 that price...

anyway, is there a good place to buy masks this days for normal prices ?
 
I might start offering kits fairly soon. My buddy Oli is just working on the fibreglass underskull. The prototype turned out pretty neat, the final piece will be even better!

Yeah, I made myself a really basic pair of lifts using old sneakers, insulation foam, MDF, a cheap handheld jigsaw, and plenty of duct tape. I'm 6'2" and these suckers boost me to over 7-foot. Take some getting used to though haha.

I'm refining my own suit, but it's coming along nicely. The mask has an articulated jaw, hoping my next version might include a snarling lip mech. The kit I'd be offering would be fairly basic though... just a fibreglass underskull and a reinforced silicone skin.

No way you'd offer one with the articulated jaw/lip mech?

I dunno about that, but a basic kit would definitely be more affordable.

A dear friend of mine actually set me up with the teeth. I might offer a set of my own based off them.
