I know it's just a Rubies Deluxe but I did a bit of modifying and I am actually very happy & excited with how it came out, of course I removed the four plastic tubes on the sides they called "dreads" and added my own 24", 5/8 backer rods painted with Plasti-Dip. I also slit the back of the mask because it is just too big and I didn't want to stuff too much foam in it. I reinforced that cheap bio mask with fiberglass resin & spray painted it with black rubber paint (Flex Seal), then I sanded the front & painted it with hammered finish silver. I used 1/2" hot water pvc couplings painted with hammered copper as the dread rings and I'm thinking of adding some leather string and wrap a couple of the dreads with it. I have a few skulls I have found out in the field of animals (I'm a surveyor) and will use them as my trophies. I plan on airbrushing more detail to the mask as well as adding some resin teeth to give it a better look, also have some quills cut out that I will put on it as well. So far so good, I am really excited about my first suit, this will do the job while I attempt my first custom mask sculpt. Thanks to you all here for giving me so much ideas and thank you for any helpful comments.
