Want to build my first 1:1 statue - Darth Maul

Hello, I was looking for info how to build good looking Darth Maul for decoration in my living room and I found this site. I've never ever done something like this before but I'm handy and I love Stars Wars and also a new hobby so I decide to give it a try. My plan is first to build something on budged to see how it works than eventually making some upgrades. This is the best thread that I found so far - https://www.therpf.com/showthread.php?t=232569 and I really like that pose. I will also use mannequin for a base and found a cheap mask and robe in Aliexpress (already bought stuff from there and I know how shipment works and so on, never ever used ebay for now(I'm from Bulgaria btw)). The problem is that the mask looks like very cheap (as it is) and its very shiny and showing teeth (which I don't like, prefer the serious face). I found some bust on ebay but its 300$ (unpainted (I think)) and that's way too much for me at the moment. Is there any better cheap alternatives like more realistic latex mask? The robe is also not much accurate but it's my best for now. I will be very greatful if you guys help me to find better items for cheap price.

I would start by not buying from a recaster on ebay. Very looked down upon around here.

I want to build a Maul too, for the hell of it because he looks good and to add a visible face to my Empire/Dark Side lineup... But I have no space left!
