Hello all,
I'm new to the RPF (literally joined today) but i'm obsessed with the prop of the Loki Mask from the 1997 movie "The Mask" starring Jim Carrey and Cameron Diaz. I have collected many replicas over the years from the likes of Ebay, Etsy, Reelart and most recently Instagram. The prop replicas that I have acquired from said instagram page are by far the best ive seen currently and also the cheapest. But there is one thing I am missing and desiring for my collection...
An actual Loki mask made of wood with a metal nose piece.
Now i've seen other makers make a wooden Loki mask which do look amazing however they do not look like the original piece. Thats why I am looking for information on whether there is anyone out there who could look at say, a resin replica of the mask, and be able to carve an exact replica into wood (size shape and detail) along with also casting the metal nose exactly like the prop.
This could even be a two person job, an excellent carpenter and blacksmith would be required or the multi talents of one individual?
Ive seen alot of prop makers strive to make replicas exactly as they would be in real life (for example a fantasy gun modelled off a real gun, therefore the maker would acquire the actual make of gun and build around it, so that the replica has the exact weight as to what it would be like in the movie) and I feel the same way about this mask.
If there is someone out there that could help me out please let me know!
