Does anyone have real pics or own a David Miller hockey mask?

Hey man, thank you very much

@MichaelMyers31

Can someone please post a link to the correct fibrosport hockey mask from Bob at Fiberglass that was used to create the Jason mask? There are several on there that at medium and I want to get the CORRECT model. Is it JP102 or the JPM?

The original mask used to create the Jason hockey mask was the JP (Jacques Plante) fibrosport 102 Elite model.

If you are buying one of Bob’s replicas you’ll want the JP-102. That model has snap rivets that connect the straps, as opposed to the JPM which has leather connecting straps that feed through a wider hole in the mask.

Not a problem at all! This post reminded me that I’ve been wanting to buy one, so thank you! Lol

One more question for you, since you seem knowledgeable about the topic. This may seem like a stupid question. The eyes on the JP Fibrosport look a lot bigger than the “Jason” conversion. You can always make the eye wholes bigger, but HOW DID THEY MAKE THEM SMALLER from an already preexisting fibrosport mask? Again, thank you.

Forgive me if you already know some of this part, but I figure it’d be easier to explain the whole process lol. The actual mask we see on film is not a Fibrosport JP-102 mask, it was created from one. The actual JP-102 was too small in comparison to the lumpy, grotesque Jason head so they needed to enlarge the mask. To do this a Fibrosport JP-102 was taken and clay was used to extend the edges of the mask, which was then used as a “buck” with plastic being vacuformed over top. Those vacuform masks were then cut and painted, which is how they made Jason’s hockey masks. When you form over a buck, the plastic draws down into any holes and details. This of course drags down into the eye sockets, which are not cut fully to their edge, which is why they are a bit smaller. You can actually the original edges where the plastic was pulled down into the eye sockets vs where it was cu in most photos. I circled it here in this photo: (1st picture courtesy of Jason Farrell):

Hope that helped!

No I did not know this. Awesome explanation! Again, I appreciate it and that answers all questions I had about how things were done

No problem at all dude! Any time. If you look around the chin of the mask, you can really make out where the OG fibrosport was in comparison to the clay extending out. I never realized that is what the deformation was until it was pointed out to me years ago in this very thread.

Just gave Bob some money

Does DMC usually seal the paint because mine arrived a few days ago but there’s no varnish/clear coat on the mask.

[Rickster58]

DM does’nt seal the paint. Post the mask you got. The last mask I got from him was painted like crap! Looked like a lage orange dorito chip
