Whats the most screen accurate H1 mask?

Hey all, im new the forums and im in the market for my first (and likely only) Myers mask. Im looking for the most screen accurate replica I can find. I’ve been trolling the forum and mask maker sites for about a week straight now and I haven’t come across anything that I really love. I was originally looking at the CGP “Fear” mask but after looking at a bunch it’s just not doing it for me, it’s a beautiful mask but not as close as id like. I’ve seen lots of people recommend the “creep” mask but again that one just doesn’t seem too screen accurate for me either. The closest I’ve seen in screen accuracy are the NAG masks which I like quite a bit. He has so many different versions but I can’t seem to find a full gallery of them. I tried reaching out on facebook but still waiting for a reply. Finally, it seems the best route for me is to purchase a base mask, and then send it to JC for retouching as he seems to be a master of the craft here. After seeing his work there’s no doubt that is my only option. My question is, what would be the best base mask to purchase to achieve the best result with this method? I’ve reached out to JC with no response yet asking the same question, so I figured id tap the community for opinions as you guys here seem to be the experts. Thanks in advance for the advice!

I suggest going with NAG his H1s I personally think are the best even though I don’t own a mask from him I love his work

You said this will be your first and likely only mask good luck with that once you get one myers mask you gotta have more lol

JC is definitely a good option and he will reply to you… Just keep in mind his wait is a few years… I would send a blank up him and then maybe get a finished H1 directly from NAG to use for now

Your best bet is to get a NAG 75k and have JC convert it for you. I don’t personally own one, though I hope to one day, but from what I’ve seen, you can’t get any closer to the H1 mask than a JC converted 75k.

lol im sure that will be the case as well

I vote for:
NAG 75k
NAG 75k Castle
NAG Nightmare
NAG 98 Proto Cast
Nightowl Shat

I’d get any one of these as a blank and send it to James Carter for a screen-accurate conversion/finish.
You’d be looking at $550 +/- and a 2+ year wait time, which I think is totally worth it for an accurate H1.
That’s all just my personal opinion, remember.

Thanks for the advice. Im not in any rush to be honest and money isn’t really an issue. I just want the most accurate thing possible. I messaged James both on facebook and dm’d him here to ask what I should get to achieve the most accurate but I have yet to hear back. I’m sure he is busy. So that 550, is that the price alone for James to convert or the rice of his work plus mask?

Freddy Loper does excellent conversion jobs. He’s an expert when it comes to H1 conversions.

100% agreed his finishing is incredible, the way he does his eye cuts as well look amazing, Freddy is the man for h1 imo

That’s a keeper :slight_smile:

probably should have mentioned that wasn’t mine, whoops :confused: lol
found that picture online, BUT I WISH IT WAS MINE

How much does Freddie loper charge and how long of a wait to finish a blank

Not sure what he’s charging these days. Not sure about the turn around time, either. Maybe he’ll see this post, & reply. Sorry.

any clue on how to get a hold of him?

Such a hard one to answer. Many go with Creep on accuracy. 75k and Nightmare are great as well. I have a Nightowl Thrasher and love it. Reminds me of the of the scene where he picks up the phone. Thrasher is a quite an underrated one in my opinion. Not sure if you can get that anymore. Was a short run I believe.

NAG/JC stuff… :pumpkin:

NAG/JC 98 Proto
IMO
20+ years doing this

Loper 98 proto without a doubt, close second “original” castle mold 75K.
