Hey guys I was wondering how do you keep a mask clean and what supplies do you use to keep it clean?
I am also not sure where to get a decent mask stand. I was going to order a mask stand from cemetary gate productions but found out that, that site was closed. I am also wondering if there are any decent protective frames I could get to put over the mask to protect it from dust.
well as for a mask stand, i use paper towl stands, which look and work like any mask stand, and are very affordable, as for cases, go to quietonthesetstudios.com they sell cases, and actually they sell wall mount stands, and normal stands, but they are a bit pricier than paper towl stands, but they are rediculasy nice, i recomend one of those stands for higher quality, take care, Z
That’s a great start for me thank you. I was hoping to maybe find some wooden stands like in cemetery gate productions that go up around the price range of 25.00.
That site has a lot of top notch stuff though. I like it.
I know Life Size Designs makes cheap stands, their stuff is on Horrorbid. I have a few from them, pretty affordable. Still, paper tower holders do the trick too. But there are a bunch of options available.
I always go to Hobby Lobby and buy some dowel rod, wood glue… and a few bases…and make my own mask stands !!! You can buy this stuff DIRT cheap !!! They even have spray on wood stain !!! I myself would rather spend more money on the mask, then I would the stand…but that is just my preference !!!
Man this is why I love this site. You guys know your stuff and you are always giving people like me all sorts of good ideas. I always appreciate the feedback. The more the merrier. lol
If you want a case, I wouldn’t settle for anything less than a Quiet on the Set case. Same goes for the stands. If you really want your collection to stand out then thats what I would do. JC makes a great stand too. ALL of my masks are on a quiet on the set stand. I say, if you are going to spend $300+ on a mask, why would you disgrace it by putting it on something cheesy like a paper towel roll? Sorry those out there that say they look just as good and or work just as fine. You are more than wrong. If you have 300 to spend on a mask , you cant afford an extra 60 on a stand? PAAALEASE!
What ever your opinion is, it doesn’t matter. You dont know what it takes to make one of those stands. It does NOT cost 20 or less. So please spare me. All I am saying is you get what you pay for. Who said anything about a stand being limited?? AGAIN, I have ALL of MY masks on a QOTS stand.
They have great stands aswell as customer service.
QOTS stands are beautiful, but I feel they are too expensive and I cant see myslef spending that much on a stand. Unless of course I had a QOTS case, then I would be forced to buy a QOTS stand, thanks to my OCD.
QOTS stands do rock… I really love the wall stands especially. I plan on upgrading one day, but still haven’t. The LSD ones are good temp stands though, for the people who put all of their green into the mask and don’t have enough left over right away… it’s a good stand in…
a guy can make a workable stand or find a decent make-shift stand that will function very well for the purpose of displaying a mask. true a paper towel stand isnt near as flashy as a crafted mask stand but for a guy on a budget they work very well.
if you have 10 masks thats around $600 for quality stands? the best paper towel stand will run you $17 at wal-mart.
thats more like $170. below is a pic of my H78’s perched on my “paper towel stands” not too bad eh?
You say my opinion doesn’t matter …I am entitled to say whatever I please… YOUR opinion don’t matter… I don’t know exactly what it costs but it’s a educated guess taking into consideration the prices of ACRYLIC and hours spent working on them… This will give you an idea on what it can cost for sheets of it… http://www.sdplastics.com/sdplas2.html Not saying this is the type used but you get my point…
As I said QOTS stand’s look amazing but if you want a good looking stand you could almost purchase 4 to 1 if you get the LSD stands…and BTW if you really want your masks to stand out BUY high quality masks from NAG, Nightowl, Horror Sanctum…etc…That’s it I’m done… :finga:
Say what you want but if you have a BALLER mask, why wouldn’t you put it on a BALLER stand? Makes no sense to me. It’s like putting hub caps on a Bentley. Spinner rims on an Aston Martin… ITS A CRIME I TELL YA!!!
I can see your point but to think a Warlock will look better on a QOTS stand rather a paper towel holder is ignorant…A good mask look’s good IMO… Now if you let’s say put a new don post H2 mask on a QOTS stand you think it will look better than if you use a towel holder??
That garbage wouldn’t make it in my collection to begin with. Thats a silly point, my friend. What I am saying is that if you spend 385 dollars for a warlock, it is silly to DISPLAY it on a paper towel roll. Am I alone here? Anyone?.. I am saying don’t cut yourself short. If you have a sick ass mask, spend the extra cash and really make it shine.
