Omega12 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) I'm looking to buy some clear white Kanohi kaukaus. The whole reason I want these kaukaus is because I am going to make a one time run of purple kaukaus, so if you have a white kaukau but want it made purple let me know.

Art Vandelay Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 (edited) Hmm, I'll start as low as you may think is reasonable, then. Would you do $10? Edited January 23, 2014 by XONAR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omega12 Posted March 8, 2014 Author Share Posted March 8, 2014 Seeing as how this will be a limited run for 3 (4 including the one i will be keeping for myself), I was thinking of selling them for about $35 + shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wazdakka Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 $35 seems awful steep for something, that while interesting, nearly anyone can make with the right stuff... Quote Steam Name: Toa Hahli Mahri.

Omega12 Posted March 9, 2014 Author Share Posted March 9, 2014 The problem is getting the right stuff. I did tell people how to make these masks, only because what I use is no longer made. I only stated that that was what I wanted for the masks. I put that price or there fully expecting to have counter offers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flintsmith Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 It's not as easy as just putting it in the dye. Store-bought dye is meant for cloth, not plastic. There are a lot of different dyes and most of them give a grey-ish color nothing like the advertised color. If you want the bright purple ones like I used to make, you have to use the right one, which (as Omega12 says) is no longer made. Also, if you want the dye to go into the plastic and not just rub off you have to heat the masks to near their melting point. Too hot and you ruin a batch of masks. Also, if you want a deep color you have to use concentrated dye. Unless you have a bunch of $ for dye, that means small volumes, and that means it is easy to boil it dry and again you ruin a batch of masks. It's easy to say "I just have to ..." but it just means that you're a talker and not a do-er. 2 Quote How I make metal masks. Trans-purple Kaukau Olda .

I'm the owner of the Platinum Avohkii, I remember reading a long time ago that you made a display for the Solid Gold Hau for kelly? I remember seeing your custom kanohi and I was wondering of you have any rare collectibles or custom stuff left? I'm planning on opening a gallery for my finished collection once I rebuild it, and I would love to have some customs of yours for it.
