Cad Bane Mask WIP

[Darth Serberus]

Just thought I'd post up a few progress pics of my Cad Bane mask. It is a 'real-world' imagining rather than the animated version.
I was asked to make it as a commission for a chap in the GK who is doing a full costume. It is sculpted in wet clay over a lifecast.
The chap wants to use Oakley type iridium lenses for the eyes which I have cast and replaced with dummies for the sculpt.
Hence the eyes look a little flat imo but it should work nicely.

This is going to be cast in Latex and foam. I'm also making the hoses for him.
I've still got a long way to go on detailing a finish but he's nearly there.
Question: What do you Bounty Hunter experts think Cad Bane's balaclava (thing that covers his neck and back of head) is made of?
I need to know so that I can add the texturing to the clay.
Leather or some sort of rubber?? Any ideas???

Seriously cool stuff!

Looks awesome so far! If I may suggest one thing though, some of the lines look like they could be softened a little, not all, but a few. Still looks fantastic though!

I think his wrap is a type of rubber, like a seal almost as the hoses seem to be there to help him breath. That to me makes it seem like it would have to be something that doesn't let air in or out, so rubber seems like a plausible application.

that is insane! I love the look of it, that thing painted up will be amazing. Great sculpt.

nice sclupting work. Beautiful...can't wait to see it all painted up.

I'd say leather for the head piece...seems to be what Star Wars uses.

AWESOME work so far!

The one thing I see in the drawing and animation of this guy that is lacking in all the sculpts I've seen is the connection on the hose...

Almost seems like a ball joint kinda thing. like it would be round and protruding from where your hose connect already is. If that makes any sense.


What you have so far is the best I've seen!

NICE WORK! thumbsup

Id go with a rubber look for the head "seal/cap". Kinda reminds me of like a scuba divers rubbery head cap. JMO tho

Pulled a few out of the mould and popped some paint on.

Tried it on for a bit of fun before painting. This is being made for a guy with a much smaller head so my huge melon has pulled it out of shape a bit.

After a trim and paint job!

I'll try and make a start on the hoses tomorrow.
