First of all, I would like to say thank you to Ericqueen that provided the template for Bane mask and sharing his WIP.
Also demolition that gave me a lot of ideas.
I started the mask by making basic foam template. Test fit on the head, cut off the extra "nose" section.
I used 10mm foam (white) for the nose where 4 hoses are joined.
I bought two set of plastic hoses: 10mm dia. and 13mm dia.
Unfortunately, the nose hoses requires smaller than 10mm dia. and I couldn't find anything smaller.
So I split the hose, wrap around a pencil and wrap electrical tape around it.
In this way, I created much smaller hose. Because of the wrapping, the hose is quite stiff.
I used wooden chopsticks at the end of each hose, so I can stick it and secure it's position in the foam base.
For the hoses on chin, I used 10mm hose. At the edge, I wrap 10mm thick of 2mm foam strips.
Same hose used for the forehead hose.
For the jaw hoses, I use 13mm ones.
I used a big straw and cut it like a diamond shape, so I can make 90 degree (or less than 90 actually) bend.
For extreme bend, I used several smaller bend (or cuts), rather making one big bend.
I used 10mm foam to create the connection on the lower ear parts, and use bottle caps for the rounded thing.
Once everything finished, I painted everything in dull black.
I used silver paint and did dry brushing on the metal parts, and the hoses.
The finished paint is too bright. I wanted to have a gun metal color, instead of silver metal finished.
So a light coat of black paint was applied.
So here it is, enjoy.
