My first mask

[scarecr0w]

(Snyder molds, painted by Mannowar, dreadlocks by Bambooie)

Dreadlock beads haven't come in yet, though.
And I still need to attach some quills.
Aaaannd, I still need to attach 8 more dreadlocks. 4 of them being little.
Other than that, she's a beauty. A very heavy beauty...
Enjoy

NICE!!!! Beauty by definition. However, I think you should shade the dreads a little more to give them an aged look.
good luck!

Snyder sold some molds to Mannowar. (So I've read)
But the mask is nice.

Holy crap dude, are those the dreads I just sent you?! I'm glad they got used. Better than just siting in a box!

Yeah. I haven't done anything but wash them. They're nice dreads, that's for sure.

Cool mask, what did you use to fix the dreads? glue? What type?

I cut X's in the dread holes. Since the dreadlocks were slightly larger than the Snyder mold dread holes, I just pulled the dreadlocks through about an inch. This holds them fairly firmly. For added support, I attempted to carefully squirt a 60 second epoxy compound inside the dread hole (the space between the latex and the dreadlock where it's inserted). Unless you can do this quickly (and neatly; epoxy is messy), you can get all of your dreads. I only got 10 or so dreadlocks glued until the epoxy hardened inside of the syringe mixer.
So if you're not quick enough, buy a 3 or 4 minute epoxy blend, or buy a few containers of the stuff.
