so this is my first part 8. overall i'm pretty happy with the way it turned out. i'll probably use either black or a darker gray base coat next time though. i'm not too fond of the lighter gray scratches. it's also probably a tad bit too yellow.i'll be replacing the dee ring and clip rivets with real rivets. those brass ones i got from tandy leather aren't sturdy enough for me and the domed once i bought were too short lol. i have to fix the straps as well. the forehead strap is too short and overall it's too stiff. i need to find some thinner more flexible leather for my next one.it was really fun to do though. definitely the hardest mask i've done yet.<img src=\"http://i561.photobucket.com/albums/ss53/auzorann/Part%208%20Mask/81.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /><img src=\"http://i561.photobucket.com/albums/ss53/auzorann/Part%208%20Mask/82.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /><img src=\"http://i561.photobucket.com/albums/ss53/auzorann/Part%208%20Mask/83.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /><img src=\"http://i561.photobucket.com/albums/ss53/auzorann/Part%208%20Mask/84.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /><img src=\"http://i561.photobucket.com/albums/ss53/auzorann/Part%208%20Mask/85.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /><img src=\"http://i561.photobucket.com/albums/ss53/auzorann/Part%208%20Mask/86.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" />
