Kit Fisto mask help?

I had an attempt at making my own version of a Sith Nautolan, got nicknamed "Sith Fisto".
I didn't really know what I was doing, but it turned out 'okay', the tendrils took a long time to make (I was making 1 every 2 days) and the mask ended up pretty heavy.
As mentioned above, it was hot , sweaty and the lenses fogged up pretty bad - but it's still quite enjoyable to wear occasionally and give the neck a good workout, lol.

It might not help much but I have loads of progress pics on my flickr , even if you find them useful as a guide "how not to do it".

If this means anything (hehe), I've thought it over and I believe I'm going to go with AOTC Kit rather than ROTS. When I think of Kit Fisto, I think of "smiling green dude with flesh dreads", and that's definitely the AOTC version. Gotta love that signature smile, definitely going to have to incorporate that into the mask somehow.

Of course, I'm totally happy with both versions.

Totally agreeing with you dude, loving both versions, but mainly loving that weird smile he has when he is slicing through droids in AOTC:lol. Best thing ever.

LOL I know right - I'm really excited to get started on this project, currently looking at fabrics and how to latex mold and such (if anyone has any suggestions/help to offer please chime in.)

Visit the molding and casting section on therpf home page. You'll find lots of help there. Your best bet would be to do a ton of research, sculpt your head, and the mold and cast it. Its going to be very expensive so be prepared but it can be a long, drawn-out process if you want so it isn't as hard on your wallet.
