tourmalinex Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Hi, I am interested in buying a pearl gold kraahkan if anyone has it, The one that I found was offered at $170, however I can’t afford that I would gladly pay $20-$40 for it. Its been a dream of my kid brother to own one and his bday is June 13 and this mask is his dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InkAlchemist1994 Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Good luck; it took me about six months of asking every BrickLink/Ebay seller I could if they had one, From my experience, once you have one, you're probably not willing to part with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InkAlchemist1994 Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 I got lucky and won an ebay auction. This seller had two of them. I lost the first auction because I just wasn't willing to outbid the winner. I think he bid around $120. The second auction, which I won, I only pad about $50, which is definitely a good deal!

Flintsmith Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 (edited) I paid $65 but it came with two complete play sets: Tower of Toa and Battle of Metru Nui. I asked the eBay seller about the mask and was told that I wasn't the first to ask. (if anyone wants a playset...) Edited June 4, 2016 by Flintsmith How I make metal masks. Trans-purple Kaukau Olda .

tourmalinex Posted June 5, 2016 Author Share Posted June 5, 2016 My other option is to 3d print one: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4kocour4 Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 My other option is to 3d print one:Well, even when that´s good idea, I don´t think that´s better then buying the real one. Yes, you can get it for significantly cheaper (If you have 3D printer), but...: 1) This model is not great. It is certainly better than what I am capable of, but... It´s not perfect. BTW, PGK has only 4 chin holes 2) It will never be real PGK. Of course, if you just want it, then why not, but if you are taking it from collectors perspective, then you still don´t have it. I have made several Ultra rare Bionicle items for myself, just to have them, but I don´t consider them real and Im still trying to get them. 3) Colour. I don´t think that there is plastic for 3D printer in PG colour, but I may be wrong. Tell me if you find it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have found a local printer that has near prefect pearl gold plastic and a transparent purple plastic for my friend’s mask of creation and kaukau.I am still going to look for a real PGK as well.

4kocour4 Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 From where do you get those models? You have a scanner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tourmalinex Posted June 5, 2016 Author Share Posted June 5, 2016 (edited) From where do you get those models? You have a scanner?I have experience in 3d modeling and a digital caliper to measure the items that I what to replicate. My friend designs historically accurate 3d models of vehicles from ww2 and assets for mods that do a total game conversion. He is more skilled than me at modeling.

Just a tip before you print these models; you might want to subdivide them because otherwise you will be able to see the individual polygons on the print. Setting the shading to smooth won't change how the print looks. Hail Denmark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
