I'm not really a fan of Dowg's hockey masks at all. I think that as far as paint and detail goes they are very nice indeed but the mask itself in my opinion just doesn't look right at all. In every picture of every Dowg Hockey Mask that I've seen the edges of the masks flare outward, making it look to me like it was nice and uniform and then got stepped on and rolled the edges outward a bit. They just don't seem as stream line as a Hockey Mask should be. It reminds me of a mask that was made to hang flat on a wall rather than being worn.As far as your being happy with the hockey masks though that's all that matters, and don't get me wrong, as I said before the paint jobs and weathering of the masks look great and I'm very happy for you to add them to your collection!<div align=\"right\"><a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=215755\"><{POST_SNAPBACK}></a></div><!--QuoteEnd</div><!--QuoteEEndRight first off i dont mind your opinion at all infact in some ways it's a compliment as i dont and have never made my hockey masks so if thats the only thing wrong it aint down to me!I have always got my blanks from either horror concepts or frightstuff, the shape of my old hockey masks may not have been 100% but the shape of wayne's hockey masks are spot on as although those two aren't from frightsuff they were two blanks i had left over that were an imporved shape from horror concepts and as far as i could tell they were spot on.I now get all my blanks from Ken's mold at frightstuff so there really is no question about the shape being off at all.You have to remember that pictures can be decieving as well and make the mask look slightly different as the pictures are 2d and have shadows on them.When i first started collecting i can remember seeing hockey masks and thinking they looked too round but was soon put right by learning that the hockey masks in P3 and P4 were strapped around the actors head so that the sides of the mask wrapped around the head more, if you strap one of my hockey masks to an under mask or your own head you will see what i mean, it's all about the strapping, maybe when wayne posts a pic of them displayed you will get it. <img src=\"http://forums.NIGHTOWLpro.com/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumbsup.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":thumbsup:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"thumbsup.gif\" />Thanks for the back up guys and really glad your pleased with your dowg hockey masks wayne, now do some close ups to show off the fine detail <img src=\"http://forums.NIGHTOWLpro.com/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":biggrin:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"biggrin.gif\" />
