Chaps seriously your words of compliments are really appreciated, thank you, means alot.
BornKIlr the jack boots are actually horse riding boots as the jack boots have a flared back to them and noticed that Kroenen's boots are straight therefore more riding boots of some kind.
Azurial that's what I was thinking that it's a shame there's no back like the other Kroenen mask but maybe one day I'll create one to suit it.
Update. Just a little tweek for anyone who has the same probs. My mask kept steaming up, not alot but still enough to steam the lenses and make some heat inside. Now all the warm air I breath out near enough all goes straight through the mouth piece. As a bonus outside air is cooler than inside so breathing it in also kind of cools the inside.
I basically got hold of a full face balaclava and cut the nose piece out to shape the inside of the mask. Hopefully pics tell the tale better.
same thing as a motorbike helm, in winter mine foggs up the moment i breath, so i now have a foggy. looks exactly the same thing as you've made. its attached to the chin and cheeks by velcro, it directly my breath away from the visor and downwards, brilliant thing
Fantastic work, this is one of my favourite characters - I hope to get around to building the costume myself one day so I will keep an eye on your progress. Well done.
Cheers peeps! tomahawknutter so I was beaten to the line by a manufacturer?
ATLANTHIA I was a bit weary of wearing the costume in the garden, not sure anyone saw tho. But gonna parade proparly at a festival in a week or so, so should be inetersting.
Thanks Bowelrock and I've been told that it is a recast BUT I was new to this when I did this and never realised about recasts. All paintwork and decor are my own doing.
Costume is now sold! But I will be back sometime in the near future for another project no doubt. Thanks to all for your highly motivating comments, much appreciated.
