H9 Movie Mold project mask ALMOST DONE !!!!

Hi everybody, finally we have been almost done with the sculpt !!!It was really tricky as no real reference material is out there and wayne is not allowed to give much away (i could understand well) !!! as we all know due to lightning and paint and camera angle the mask looks always different !!!
we used tons of pics and all kind of masks such as buried, propshop and Nags & HSS H9 too !!! buried looks very accurate at some angles but in general more close to the animatronic as to the screenused as there are sure differences in terms of sculpt and proportions !!
Anyways here we go with almost complete sculpt pics, just little finishing and clean up !!!
When the prototyp is done we will let everybody know if we make a ltd run avail !!! If we do it will def. be no cheap mask as we have 2 FX artist who will finish !!!
The sculptor will make the casts. trimming, cleaning and hairing !!! the paint & aging will be done by a pro FX movie worker (patineuse) who is in charge for weathering , rotting and aging movie sets, wardrobe and props and so on…
hope it turns out as good as i expect it to be …LOL
regards

looks cool will u be selling these

Hi thanks for interest. if the final outcome is as good as we want it to be, yes we will do a ltd. run only.

just wondering, why is it called the “movie mold project” if it is an original sculpt?

You have my attention.

Looks great so far!!

I was wondering the same thing… Looks good though.

Same question here. And who is the sculptor or tweaker?

This in no way originated from the ever popular animatronic head?

Any earlier progress shots? Like when it was in early forms?

Is pricing going to be $400+ for this mask?

Looks cool but this looks to be really small or the guys hand are very big LOL … Just wondering how bit the sculpt is ?

Later

Hi there, thanks for interest !!! well the “movie mold project titel” was given by me cause i wited years for the promised W.T: original movie mold mask planned by neca which will probably never see the light of day …as wayne told me !!! so i started to make my own movie mold version…so its more out of fun !!!
This mask was sculpted from the ground and sized to be worn by tylers head measurments so this mask has nothing to do with the animatronic or buried !!!
It was created from a very well known EU Fx movie artist who works on many television & music shows and on many movies creating FX, props, deco & orignal designs !! he just worked on a new zombie horror comedy while doing this project for me !! he is no …so called …pro mask maker !!!
i posted earlier wip thread a few weeks ago to proof !!! The size will be around 24 inch i guess and so a little bit smaller then buried which is a bit too large to me …
kind regards

Still looking really good man. The only thing I can still suggest is making the scar on the forehead smaller. Still can’t wait to see it finished.

lks real good but doubt tht mask will fit tyler mane

Ben

23.5 is what you said tylers head size was in another thread…no…way…



i duno call me a hater looks fishy though…


obv looks great…no movie molds involved though…


dude and you got everyone saying its spot on what exactly is your outcome SUPPOSE to look like?..what qualifies releasing it?..and i find it very hard to beleive this fx artist wont let you say who he is…what shows/movies has he worked on? it wont be 100% screen accurate as no mask will ever be could look 99% accuarate and one wrong dent in the lips or anything can tarnish it

Hi there, thanks for interest and suggestions !!!
we will reduce the forhead scar a bit !!!LOL !!!
Again, Tylers head was not as huge as many seem to think !!! he has a kind of longer head but not really wider so as my artist owns a head piece prop from x-man that was part sculpted on Tyler head we worked out what dimensions the mask should have to match as good as possible so we went for a 24 inch wide head !!! mine is 23,2 inch and i am 6.3 feet tall !!!
Of course i know nobody will get 100% accuracy, even Tyler would make it diffeent if he would do a new sculpt …but we try to get as close as poss…
for the artist …sorry …as he is in contacts right now he dont want to be named …(as this originally started as a personal project only …)

best wishes

hi again, hope for finished proto end of next week …LOL !!!
