I always wanted to make an Ewok, and seeing loads of posts here on rpf , ive decided to give it a go.
Mask is designed to we worn by my 3,5yo,

I've got the mask from Rebel Legion member (Lonewolf )
I've used acrylic ball halves for the eyes
Fur arrived! It might not be enough for the whole suit, but i will make a head first
I filled the eye area with the air drying clay (although now i wouldn't do that again, firstly i would add fur to empty eye sockets and then fit the eye
I had many problems with finding out the way to darken the eyes without losing the visibility. Tried darkening car foil (heat up and then pull over - didnt work , might not heat it strong enough, lack of heat gun), then i used car window tint spray, but it also totally blocked the view).
Ended up with Sharpie permanent marker cross pattern which came out ok , i think.
The back of the mask is a cheap kids knight helmet. Removed the front and cut down to size.While i cannot wear this ewok head, it sits nicely on my sons head.
Had ups and downs with this build as I've never done anything similar, It was such a pain to add the fur to the mask (cutting, aligning etc) but i did it. Most of the imperfections will be hidden under the hood, so wasn't too worry about it
Here is almost finish mask (photo with a flash to show details)
Front
Back
Left
Right
Need to work on the hood now. Here i used it just to show how it will look like roughly
Here is the mask with a little bit of fur styling (Looks much better !!! )
Again, latest photo with flash to show details better
I will update the thread once i progress with it, but pretty satisfied with it so far
cheers
