Crezdonn Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Is this something you made? I've never seen this before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flintsmith Posted March 10, 2017 Author Share Posted March 10, 2017 Yep. Made it. Made some nice coppery ones too. Quote How I make metal masks. Trans-purple Kaukau Olda . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flick_The_Brick Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I'd be interested in the mask aswell. Will you be making more (seeing as SamDrew was faster)? Oh, and could you post pictures of the copper ones? I'd love to see those! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mask Hunter Lewa Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Is it dyed from Pearl Light Gray or is it molded? (I guess dyed, but I'm asking because it will mean you can only make Pearl Light Gold parts from Pearl Light Gray parts) Also could you make other parts/masks in Pearl Light Gold as well?

Flintsmith Posted March 10, 2017 Author Share Posted March 10, 2017 I've made six coppery ones and eight PLG and can make more. Plenty for all. Yes, they're dyed. It's not clear what masks I can make but you're right that I start with silver. My actual goal was PLG Avohkii but i've failed with both Flat Silver and Pearl Light Gray. The dye bounces 99%.

bestcollector Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 That mask is neat! Do you think you can make a PLG Hau Nuva? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flintsmith Posted March 11, 2017 Author Share Posted March 11, 2017 I'm sure I could. The problem is that the Proto Hau Nuva costs $20+shipping and there IS a failure rate. Call it $25. Put the $15 on top of the $25.Mirus cost 50 cents. Like the trans-purple Kaukau. I'll sell you one of those, but $40 and I'll not be making more. The trans-clears are just too dear. I'm going to try PLG Hau Olda. That mask is neat! Do you think you can make a PLG Hau Nuva? Quote How I make metal masks. Trans-purple Kaukau Olda .

Oh, this is sad, since I was hoping for PLG parts for Takanuva 2003 or Alternate Universe Teridax, but I think that all those parts are from same kind of plastic as Avohkii.

Flintsmith Posted March 12, 2017 Author Share Posted March 12, 2017 (edited) No. That's a bad assumption. LEGO feels free to make whatever decisions they want. For instance, consider these white Rahkshi heads dyed purple. Some take the dye, some resist. The only way to know is to try a few from different sources.

Flintsmith Posted March 18, 2017 Author Share Posted March 18, 2017 An update. I had made 8 of the gold Miru, but they were a pale 14K gold, not the rich 18K gold that we like. I re-dyed a couple with an orange color but it was SOOooo quick. 1) it's hard to stop it fast enough so some came out copper (they're all beautiful, but not the PLG goal), 2) I don't know what the quickness does to the durability. I haven't had complaints about the previous dying, but that involves extended boiling at high temperature and these don't have that. I've just gotten in two new dyes that I hope will let me tune the color. Do you plan on making more trans-purple Kaukau? I won't. They're made from clear masks and those are too expensive now. I have some in a box though from LONG ago. Want one? I thought you were going to make your own. Good to see you're still around, Flintsmith! Have you made/will you be making any G2 metal masks? I really want to get back into metal masks. I want to make the Mask Of Creation, and Krana sets in a variety of metals. Plus, I owe Mask Collector a Cobalt mask. Do you still have those metallic purple Haus for sale? I have a variety of dyed masks and can make more. I like the metallic green and the trans-orange ones. Quote How I make metal masks.

InkAlchemist1994 Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Hey Flintsmith! I would love one! I bought a transgerine Miru and the metallic purple Pakari; they're gorgeous. I wanted to make one, but I don't have the time between work and school. Should I PM you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

banana92 Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 I will take a trans purple Kaukau if you still have any love your work too I tried dying masks black briefly, and started with a light blue Rau, tan Komau, and white Akaku, only the Rau took with some acetone, which did damage the mask slightly, but gave it a color very close to sand blue comparison http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=6431082on Matoro tohunga http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=6431083I love it and store it with my masks anyway!, you can see the details aren't as crisp, but at least I know black rits dye and light blue parts and testing will net something close to sand blue Quote I'm digging I'm digging I'm digging I'm digging I'm digging I'm digging I'm digging I'm digging I'm digging I'm digging I'm digging Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flintsmith Posted March 29, 2017 Author Share Posted March 29, 2017 I also tried dying tan Komaus. They ignored the dark brown dye. Quote How I make metal masks. Trans-purple Kaukau Olda . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dye bounces 99%.I'd love to hear if you ever pull of a PLG Avohkii! Also, would you be able to (and how much would it be) to dye some miscellaneous parts PLG? I was hoping to get the following for a Turaga Takanuva MOC: 2 angle 1 pieces (part #32013), 2 angle 3 pieces (part #32016), and 1 Kopaka blizzard blade (part #60924). Thanks for any help.
