Solid Bronze Mask of Time (Human Scale)


Vahkiti Master of Time

Recommended Posts

This is so cool! How much did this project cost to accomplish?

 

The model commision cost me $20, the Shapeways print cost me $50, (+$15 for gold spraypaint) the second print, (used to make the mold for molten bronze) cost another $50, the bronze itself cost $50, and the various materials used in the forging process rounded out to I THINK about $120, but the mask maker was nice enough not to charge me for that.

This is a fantastic job! A real bargain at $120 too, I've spent more than that on model sized masks and I'm not alone! How about trying a life-sized Avohkii next? I know a guy who would pay through the nose for it lol


Check out my Bionicle store on Bricklink here!

I'd have to ask him about that one. The only reason this was so cheap is because the Vahi doesn't really have a lot of material. In fact, it probably has the least overall volume of any mask in the franchise. 00dude00 modeled another custom mask at the same time for another friend of mine, (QSKSw) and the Shapeways print alone on that would run me about $200. I unfortunately, do not have that kind of money, so unless your guy is willing to pay for it in full, it's probably not going to happen. xD

Whoa. Your friend is a true mask maker. You really like the Vahi, don't you? :P That's pretty awesome. Now find a way to make the mask actually work. (Unless it already does... :bigeek:  :P  :P  :P )

Plot twist: this is made three years from now.

 

Really though this is like the coolest thing I've ever seen. If you had a bronze Hau and a silver metal (steel or something) Miru, you would have an Aki and a Rua.

Wow... Just one question... Is it a display only piece or can it be worn as intended?

He just made this off of a 3D model? Dang, I need to do the same!

 

This is quite impressive, your friend is a real smith. He should make old warfare armor, people pay big bucks for that.

Prior to making this, he did actually make a really large pauldron for himself. I'll get you some pictures of that if he agrees. He doesn't have an account here unfortunately.

Well yes, and no. The PLASTIC version can be worn, (as seen in my display picture prior to painting) and in fact was specifically modeled to fit my face based on a profile shot I sent 00dude00. The bronze one can also be worn, but because of how it was thickened from the inside for casting, it is significantly more difficult, (and less comfortable) to do so. Neither currently have any straps to hold them on, though the plastic one can be held in place with a good set of headphones or a tightened hood.

 

The bronze one, due to its weight, I currently wear over my shoulder at nearly all times as sort of a pauldron. It's so heavy, and combined with my spinal issues sending my right shoulder out of whack, it actually just sits there with little to no adjustment. xD

Yeah, Prowl don't do Facebook. Cool nonetheless that they could both be warn. That is awesome. Now if only you had yourself a cool Toa Costume to go with it. Be great for Cosplay.

Vakama would be jealous.

 

This is simply amazing, Vahkiti. It looks like you and everyone involved did a fascinating job.

 

Even if you can't wear the bronze version very well, you ought to have the plastic one on your face at all times. You are, after all, the Time Guardian.

 

And say - any sort of progress with MNOLG: CE? Or is that shelved for now?

Heh, well I actually have been tempted to try out the plastic one as a windbreaker. It's a cold, cold winter up here, and I'll take what protection I can get. Besides, it gives me sort of a Winter Soldier look if worn correctly. xD

 

MNOLG: CE is for the moment, shelved, yes, however we're still exploring possibilities for continuing the project in the future. We have already hired a new composer who, while also quite busy right now, is.. shall we say, very well known within the community.

 

EDIT: Just noticed this has made front page news! Awesome! ^-^

Someone's already made a life-size Avohkii. I don't remember where I've seen it, but you google it, you could probably find it.

Wow, vahkiti, it's been so long I didn't think I'd ever see this printed much less turned into a full blown metal mask! It looks absolutely incredible. You and your friend did a fantastic job, and I can see a ton of effort went into this. Glad I could be a part of something this cool, I only wish I could see it in person! XD

Ohai! Thanks for the kind words! Good to hear from you again btw. I figured once it hit front page, it was only a matter of time until you stumbled on it. :P
