Pleurodeles Waltl Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Hey, congrats on the Flash Fire contest!But yeah, I think probably what I'll do is make a new one and hopefully it'll be better than my current one, then I can repaint my current one. Hopefully I use the paint job to cover over or distract from those lines.

Pleurodeles Waltl Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Almost used my Hau for a rather unique purpose today-So we have a hot tub but some of the side panels are loose and a bunch of wasps made nests under them- we got Raid and it was my job to dress in heavy clothing and go out in the 90-degree heat to spray the nests. At first I used a swim mask and tightened my sweatshirt hood way up, but I couldn't breathe and the goggles fogged up. i was trying to figure out what to use when it hit me: I ran to my room and tried my mask on. It fit snugly enough against my hood to not let wasps in and the mesh allowed me to breathe while keeping the wasps out. In short, it was perfect.But, sadness of sadness, I had no good way of keeping it on my head yet- still no strap. :(So instead I opted for a Creeper head that I made for Halloween last year and that used the same mesh for the face. It seemed fitting enough for destroying their painstakingly made homes.

BULiK Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 (edited) As you can see by my avatar, I'm almost finished with a pakari. And maybe you should consider making a rahkshi head and/or tohunga feet models.Right now, I'm almost done cutting my hau, but I'm having a sort of mental block. your later works seem more streamlined, but I can barely understand the hau and the cutting is confusing on it, So I'll be postponing my hau creation for a bit.and also, why does this kakama have more detail than the one in the file? I was disappointed by the lack of detail in the version I'm working on.

I was disappointed by the lack of detail in the version I'm working on.Well as you can tell in the preview pictures on the first post, this one has no details (I actually got it from the game :3) so I had to make my own details from scratch with foam sheets/cardboard, and I'm sorry to hear about the Hau, I'll try to rectify that.EDIT: Actually Maphrox sent me a bunch of mask files quite a while ago, the Ruru's one of them.http://www.majhost.com/gallery/sik1276/CBart/Pepakura/maphroxpack.pngSome are just retopology of ones I did do already like the Hau, this Hau here fixes the mouth problem, I believe. Others are more high-detail parts like the Kakama and the Akaku. However, I'm really busy with other stuff so it'll be unlikely that I'll be able to whip all of these out. So if there's one that you really want, please say so and I'll try to do that first. Edited August 4, 2012 by CrunchbiteNuva "I could have been a Protector but then I took a stud to the feet."

BULiK Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 I'd really like you to do the Kakama first. It's been one of my favorite masks for years, along with the kualsi.

I've finished my low-quality kakama, and am almost done with my pakari, so I printed the noble huna, the mask of light I don't want to embarrass myself by spelling it incorrectly, and the kualsi.

BULiK Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Anyone know how long it takes to construct one of these masks? I'm thinking about making one for my friend who's still in to Bionicles for his birthday.It depends on what mask, how much time you have, and what schedule you are building on. Some masks I can cut all in one night (Even though I stay up until 1am ), and others take longer. It also depends on when you glue. When I glue, I wait 40 mins for it to dry, then I glue again, and so on. I suggest doing some of the newer masks, as they are less complex in general. The pakari is a good choice. Also, when I glue I use six clamp thingies that aren't directly clothespins, but don't stick to the paper easily. You can still try to use clothespins though.

Pleurodeles Waltl Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 (edited) It also depends on how far you're taking the construction of the mask. Cutting+glueing will take several hours. Coating it with podge before painting, a while longer depending on how many coats. Adding resin, though, will be by far the biggest time-consumer, though I couldn't put a figure on it. A long time. If you just want to cut, glue, podge, and paint a mask, you could probably do it in a dedicated weekend. Casting would add probably a day though.I'm basing that estimate off the Medium-difficulty Hau. An easy mask may take less time, and a Hard will definitely take more. It's a fun experience though, and your friend will certainly enjoy it!Alright, I've dug out an old pair of ski goggles and taken them apart- I'll try to cut the orange plastic into lenses, I may or may not be able to make the amount of plastic fit the eyeholes on my Hau.But the main point is, I've now got the strap with almost half the frame on each end. My thought is to hot-glue them into the broad, flat part of the inside, near the back edge. It wouldn't be the most elegant-looking, but it would hold the mask on and offer some degree of padding and adjustability. Anyone have any better ideas? I'm sure there's a better way to do it but I'm having difficulty coming up with anything feasible.

Back to the drawing board...yeah, I was worried that might happen. If you are not too against hurting your baby, I would suggest drilling a couple of holes on the side of the mask then using nuts/bolts/whatever they're called and stab them through your straps to affix them to the mask. Then paint the outside screws to hide them or cover them with the resin, paper clay, whatever and sand and paint again I keep looking at Crunchbite's avvie and thinking how much I want to make a Kraahkan....I do have a Kraahkan model but the model isn't really suitable for paper, someone will have to fix it or model a new one :/ "I could have been a Protector but then I took a stud to the feet."

Pleurodeles Waltl Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I do agree that a Kraahkan would be pretty awesome if insanely hard.I'd already thought about drilling, but the resin is too thing on one side- it didn't pour quite evenly. Even with thick resin I'd still be hesitant. I'm pretty against hurting my baby. I'll figure something out, even if I just have to duct tape it to my head for Halloween.

Pleurodeles Waltl Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Well, I'm fairly glad I saved all the patterns to my computer a while ago. I do think you should leave it up for a while.Anyway, used my mask tonight. Couldn't wear it to school and didn't go trick-or-treating (never too old but had other plans) but I took it to a party. People thought it was pretty cool, especially those who knew what it was. Still haven't got a good way to keep it on though... 1 The beatings will continue until morale improvesNowhere But Here, Nowhen But NowMask-Maker: Finished Hau Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
