3DK mask?

Can anyone tell me about this mask? I’ve been gone a long time and obviously missed out on something lol

Hey man this one is made by Jimmy Falco from Spookhouse Props. He somehow 3D scanned a actual 75 Kirk. It is very impressive! He offers it in two sizes. Mine is 24.75 and that’s the smaller version :+1:
My JC conversion…

Wow, that mask is impressive. Great score :clap:

Yeah it’s a 1:1 of the “million dollar Kirk” which some people say was the same Kirk as the “hero.” It’s a great mask. Here’s some shots of mine also by JC.

Awesome shots Colin. That first one is unreal :flushed: :clap:

An original Sean Clark '75 (Small) The one’s he used to sell back in the day in the Fangoria mag. That’s the mask the owner had told me was used that he forgot he had all these years. Spoke w/ him on FB.

This is correct.

The 3DK is a scan (and retool?) of a restored Sean Clark Small from the late 80s to early 90s.

The owner forgot he had it in storage, hired Jimmy to restore it, and then agreed to let Jimmy scan it and offer an enlarged version to the public.

This is taken from the owner’s Facebook:

“This my friends is “The Origin” of the 3DK mask done by Jimmy Falco of Spookhouse props.
The story has been told by me countless times.
If you have followed its history, then you understand its history and its past. It was produced in the late 1980s… a cast from a “75 kirk.” unfortunately its a non- wearable mask. After researching its history and having it stored in the mid-1990s, I decided to have it restored to its full potential in 2023. I had one guy in mind who stood out above all others. Jimmy Falco. An artist who got the “myers thing” down to a “T”
After days, if not weeks of
research, we decided to move forward to offer the mask to the public as “The 3DK”
As it goes the rest is history. This mask holds a very special place in my heart. Jimmy you know why!
Thank you for everything you have done to bring back memories and saving a great mask…but most of all thank you for being a amazing friend.”

These are the images he shared of his restored Sean Clark Small that was scanned to create the 3DK.

The 3DK is really versatile, and nails the stretched look really well. Users Collin Slippers and Caleb Croft have some really good examples of this.

Hope that helps.

This is most interesting! I’m gonna have to find my old SC small and do some side by sides

This is why the 3DK in some areas looks really smoothed out and not as detailed as the original SC '75, imo. Because if was restored it may have been retooled slightly to give it back detail in some areas that the scan didn’t pick up. Very subtle ones to say the least, but overall it came out great

I’m guessing that sc small was converted by someone that knew what they were doing. My stock #48 copy here never looked nearly that good

Actually going in the classifieds if anyone is interested :+1:

I thought this was a scan of an original, Kirk. Not a scan of a recast. This isn’t a Sandman 78, is it? Still looks great.

Just on a side note. The SC Small was not released in the late 80s. SSN put it out in the mid 90s (96?)

Hmm.

I wonder if he’s misremembering the time at which he acquired the mask.

I thought the same thing. Maybe there’s some confusion regarding this.

U guys all make good points, and thanks for sharing those photos of that restored one! Never seen a sc small have any details.

Yeah, I’m fairly certain that’s why Jimmy asked to scan it. The owner’s mask is an exceptional cast of a '75 Kirk.

Absolutely outstanding.
