Brown leather is as accurate as I need, especially considering no one will see it at night, nor care. Only hardcore fans here will. However if a rivet pulls through, I cannot change it easily as I could a snap. Also the screen accurate strap was not adjustable because it was made to fit CJ. I do not have the luxury. So this will do. I do not have the desire to copy something exactly like something else, I am more creative and innovative than that, and prefer to make my own little variations. Not to mention make the mask last much longer...<!--QuoteEnd</div><!--QuoteEEndThe Hockey Mask looks great. Nice score. Plastic masks can look and feel a lot better than some fiberglass masks. Especially for comfort's sake. And trust me, if done well, rivets will NOT pull through a mask. If anything a snap will pull through or pull off the strap before a rivet will just by taking the straps off and on repeatedly, especially if they are a tight fit.But I don't understand your creative/innovative comment. "Copying" a mask for screen accuracy is a LOT more creative work than what you may think. Everyone here who has built/painted hockey masks can attest to that. From Mike at FOD to the FrightStuff guys and all the guys just making a Hockey Mask for themselves. We'll all tell you the same. A well built hockey mask will last for years and years . . . whether it has snaps OR rivets. And most Hockey Mask makers can and will make adjustable straps for a part 6 mask. It can be done. And the more you get into the hobby, chances are one day you will want a screen accurate mask. I can already tell because you mentioned the maker got the scratches pretty close on the red tri. If accuracy meant nothing to you, then you'd never had noticed this.I'm glad you are enjoying your mask and maybe i misunderstood your post (and I apologize if I did), but achieving "accuracy" is an art. As long as you are happy with it, that's what matters. And that is totally cool with me. But your post came off, to me, like a swipe at Hockey Mask builders.
