For those of you who already knew I was working on this from the announcements section I finished the sculpt, first time sculptor by the way so don’t expect miracles.I managed to get round to moulding it which turned out pretty easy, the hard part being the fibreglass/resin which was time consuming and hard to get right.Anyways this is the first one out of the mould and basically the only original sculpt I’ve seen in terms of their ballistic face masks, seems though no one else has attempted it yet. I don’t know though I could be wrong.Its made of thick fibreglass resin but isn’t heavy so don’t worry, however it does have some flaws in it, but it’s a battle damaged mask so unless I stated that you would never have known about them, but I just thought I would throw that out there rather than lie about it and cover it up. The paintwork was the most fun part to do, I base coated it in silver and used mixes of acrylic blacks to build up the gritty paint work before added realistic scratches and battle damage. I then sealed it in with two layers of clear coat gloss.The mask itself however is pretty small, it just say fits my head in terms of width, which is around 25.5inches maybe, I’m not sure on that though, but even so it’s a great collectors piece just to hang on the wall. It doesn’t come with the straps as of yet though because I am in the process of finding some accurate materials to make my own, so this one can be left as it is or customised by whoever wants it.This is a one of a kind and you won’t find any others like this since I made it from scratch. Make an offer. But don’t lowball me please. Serious offers only. No trades.Paypal only also.On with the pics...<img src=\"http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d49/liquid-venom/Rios1.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /><img src=\"http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d49/liquid-venom/Rios2.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /><img src=\"http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d49/liquid-venom/Rios3.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" />
