I applied the resin and fiberglass cloth in the inside of the mask and then applied bondo and sandpapered it with 60 grit

Hey, that looks pretty awesome! Just remember with that file to harden it SLOWLY from the inside out. I learned the hard way with that thing that if the inside isn't harden first the sides will warp in.

Edit: Nevermind, lol as I was posting I see you posted new pics with it already hardened

Wouldn't the resin have dissolved the foam?

LOL its ok. Yeah that's a good advice. I actually had to put chop stick in the back of the helmet (first picture) to keep its shape when I applied the resin.

The cool thing about these masks is that you really don't have to smooth it so much the rougher the better.

You know I was actually scared of that but I took the risk and it worked out ok.

I will make it for show Maybe make a costume later on.

Mask is finished. I dremeled the details. I love the roughness of it. Primer first and then painted it black with a lite coat of metallic silver and rubbed it under the eye with a rag.









Covered the inside with black craft foam and i used some left over pool screen enclosure mesh. Used a lot of glue sticks lol
