Eljay's new Miru

Looks great!

Super cool! I’m sure Eljay is really happy!

RIP Var. Anyways, nice mask! Looks true to the original.

I Shall mark you down for one then. Also I can use the money I would have spent on the gold dust for your mask and use teal paint instead.

My shapeways account is here. So far the mask of ultimate power is the only thing I have on it. You can get it here,

I will be Lining the surface of the mask mold with the gold powder. It loves to stick to silicone. then pouring a small amount of rotocast resin which will create a thin but strong shell. The gold will remain on the outside of the resin cast so when I buff it it should look splendid.I will reinforce the resin cast with Fiberglass. Like this but in gold.

Hey the MoUP looks great!

Made a Topic about it. Cyber-Hand's Forge

Here are more work in progress images of the mask.


I used a light weight car body filler to smooth out the ridges from the printing process and help seal the cracks where the two pieces meet up.

I then used a mat filler spray to see any imperfections.

This process was repeated till the mask was smooth.

In another day or two you will see high quality images of the finished results. And the fibreglass masks I am making in the future should turn out even better.

Are you going to add mesh and such for the eyes and (mouth?) holes? If so you should add some lighting around the eyes.

The visor part was made by heating a tinted acrylic sheet and forming it to the right shape to fit in the mask. Lights behind the Visor would have allowed people to see through it and made it harder to see out. which given the shape of the mask is already a little tricky. Eljay is going to bump into a few things while at brickfair.

Ah ok I see

This is briliant.
Major props, man

Woah… that is really really cool! 3D printing never ceases to amaze me.

Well, well! We have ourselves a real mask-maker here!
I really like seeing how it all goes together. It’s like a big puzzle, but it’s uniform, and there aren’t any pieces missing or any pieces of any other puzzles smushed sideways into place so it looks right. Not that that’s happened to me. Much.

I bet Eljay was very impressed too!

Just… be careful with the power you wield, okay? “With great power” and all that.
Don’t go fusing all six elements together or getting stuck in a shadow realm or anything like that. Be wary of the future visions, and if you get turned into a half-beast, spinners are your friend :wink:

You are too late! I already have created the Mask of ULTIMATE POWER. With it I shall rule the message boards.

Also Eljay’s exact words when he received the mask were:
To say I’m blown away would be an understatement. This mask is spectacular in every way, shape, and form. I have absolutely zero complaints. It’s so high quality, and an improvement in every way to my prior mask. Considering the trip I will be going on, I feel this mask was worth every cent. Thank you for not only the original offer, but for the work and time you put into it. It’s fantastic.

This is fantastic work.

Omg, this is beautiful! O.O If I weren’t broke, I’d totally see about commissioning a 2015 Kaukau from you. :stuck_out_tongue: Btw, are you thinking of doing this treatment to any other masks?
