Darth Maul

[Wolfn]

Here is my progress as Darth Maul.


The costume was purchased off eBay but it is a little big in some areas (especially the outer robe and inner tunic which drag several inches along the ground). I'm going to be using a Liquid Stitch to hem these areas a little bit.

The lightsaber is a Darth Maul Ultimate FX which I purchased at Toys R'Us on sale.


I'm hoping to complete it in time for Tampa ComicCon in March. However, I'm thinking this won't be a complete Darth Maul. For example, I wasn't going to do the red and black tattoos on the face. I was planning on shaving the head and just putting plain black tribal tattoos on the face (a-la Nero from Star Trek)

But so far this is what I got.

Looks good…you got the look for sure…I'd go all the way and paint the Maul face

when I did it years ago I just cut some horns off a cheap rubber mask and glued them to my head…don't forget the contact lenses, you'll have to get an eye exam and then you can order them online cheap…it's a must to finish the look

good luck

Well, I already wear prescription contacts for bad vision. I can't wear Darth Maul contacts without being blind.

I'm just going to do facial tattoos on face like Nero from Star Trek.

May I suggest wearing a silicone Darth Maul mask? Frightful Acts makes one. Here's a video of it in action:

That mask looks really good.

Prescription cosmetic lenses, you can get good accurate ones, so you're halfway there if you've already wear them

Not bad? Link to where I can get them/price?

Frightful Acts | High quality custom silicone masks

Standard masks cost around $350, with custom Darth Mauls going higher. Yikes.

Beats shaving your head and painting your face red though.

If you get contacts I'd recommend 9mm SFX. I've ordered prescription 14mm lenses from them in the past. I'm not sure about larger ones but the 14mm lenses I ordered they were able to use lenses that worked with my astigmatism. I've used the Wild Eyes brand before. They look as cheap as they cost.

I did a DM costume years ago as well. I cut the horns off a cheap rubber mask and it worked fine for a Halloween.

I shave my head to begin with. Besides, Ray Park didn't wear a mask when he played Darth Maul.

True, but Ray had to undergo hours of make-up. It really depends on how accurate you want to be, how often you'll use it, and if you're trying to join the 501st etc.
I bought one of those Darth Maul silicone masks and I love it -- when you talk your mouth moves with it, it looks amazing. And when I was done I just pull the mask off and I'm back to normal in 5 secs.
If you're just going to dress up as Maul once only, and if you're keeping the bald look anyway, then you should do the make-up and take your time with it.

Do they need mold of head? If so, how do I send it to them?

 

[Count Monte]

No, they don't need a mold of your head - their masks are one-size fits all. The silicone stretches to fit your face.
