I appreciate that brother! I actually got the blank from Nikos back in 2013 and sent it off to Mike to work on and regretted selling it. Once I saw it being sold (by a second owner, guessing the original owner sold it off) I had to get it back! The Maniac and Cover mask he did for me are 2 of my grails and I will never let them go now! He just has a special way of finishing masks that nobody else can really compete with. I love the grimy look he gives each piece he works on
Definitely agree! I own his AHG 78’,Experimental
and a Mint 75’ he refinished. All unique works of art! It’s a shame he has now stopped,other than just creating his own sculpts.
Definitely unfortunate man, that’s why I value these pieces so much. He just had a unique way of overhauling masks that was his own and out of the norm. I am happy that he has stepped into the mask making realm though! His AHG78 was awesome and I love his new EX and Kirk sculpts! He has a nice H4 cover mask in the works too that I think people are going to love once he releases it. One of the good guys left in the hobby, he sells strictly on eBay and for extremely reasonable prices!
Thanks! Of the countless '78s I’ve owned, that one is the one I’ve never even considered letting go of (& is my only remaining '78.)
Here are some pics of a mask that a friend of mine & I commissioned Nik to make for us. Being major fans of this film, we just had to have it. I present the “Pleasure Delayer.”
