As the title says, I did this for my 8 year old. He wants to be Jason this Halloween. So, I had two choices of masks to get him at the local stores. One, was some weird and flat foam type mask that wraps around your head. It was really bad. The other was from the seasonal Halloween store. One of those cheap glow in the dark made in China masks. Very disappointing selection. He would be happy with either of those, but, well............. I couldn't let him go out like that. I figured I could paint it up for him. NOT ACCURATELY and not trying to be accurate at all. Just wanting to do better than what I got.
This is what I got. ( I pulled the pic from the net) I got two in case I messed one up horribly.
So I drilled some holes into it. Sanded, and primered. Put a flat white base coat down. I then did a quick mask for the red chevrons. I used the blue tape and it didn't work very well. Then I followed with oil paints and a flat clear to seal it. I also put some foam strips to keep it off his face a little.
So all told, minus paint drying time, maybe one hour of work.
And florescent lights:
Anyway. It was a fun quick project. I also went to the store and part him some clothes to resemble Pt. 3.
This should not be in the replica props forum but I didn't know where else to put it.
*edit* Know idea what that attachment thing is below or how to remove it.
