TIGERBOT BLANK KIT PREORDER *SHIPS IN 4-6 WEEKS**

"The TigerBot helmet system is a revolutionary step in symbiotic A.I combat tech. The system uses machine learning to bond to it's wearer, communicating and guiding in a way that synchs efficiently with the operator's personality and tactics. The Tigerbot HUD will advise routes, plans, predict obstacles and provide predictive targeting along with morale boosting chatter. Tigerbot operators have claimed the helmets seem alive and some have formed bonds that border on close companionship. These helmets are fiercely protected by their operator and only passed on to trusted compatriots who must then adapt the helmet to their own use. Some helmet inheritors have said the helmets retain traits and quirks from their previous owners..."

This is a THREE part kit, buyer will receive the top head cast, jaw and back head panel. The back head panel is meant to attach to the top head piece with elastic so that it can be opened to stretch over the head and then hang down during wear. I recommend a helmet style strap rig to keep the helmet on and secure, especially if you are going to articulate the jaw. However, different head sizes may require different solutions!

Buyer will need to sand, trim flashing and fill any surface bubbles. This kit is not recommended for inexperienced builders, it will be a challenge.

I am okay with buyers removing the visor section to create a mold or buck for a clear cast or vaccuformed see through visor. I am also okay with the buyer selling the self produced visors to other Tigerbot buyers who want to save time or don't have the means to produce a clear visor ( charge what you want)- PLEASE do not take advantage of this , I am not giving my blessing to recast ANY other parts of this or any of my other designs! Keep it small production, be cool ok?

I included a video of me testing the moving jaw but it's a big pain in the ass to get right! I used hinges similar to this but with elastic tension, the springs are probably a better idea!

Buyers will receive a fulfillment notification through the email provided at purchase once the mask has been packed. A tracking number will be sent once the mask is on the way! Any production delays will be mentioned on the updates page.

The basics:

- This is for one (1) cast white urethane unpainted, unfinished mask.  Buyer will need to trim edges, sand and prep it for paint.

- These are produced one at a time in my own studio. The buyer will need to sand/remove the flash edges, fill any small surface air bubbles, reinforce areas and heat to shape the mask to fit their own face if needed.

- Elastic straps can be attached with high heat hot glue, epoxy or other strong adhesive. Clamp while curing /drying to secure the bond better. Score ( roughen) the inside mask's surface before gluing.

- A plastic nipper, a rasp , sandpaper or a dremel can be used to refine edges. Here is a little more detailed info. Buyer can add soft cloth lining to the inside for comfort. Some craft/paint/kit building knowledge is recommended. I cannot provide build help beyond the info included here and in links provided.

- Please be sure to provide the correct address when placing your order, all orders will be shipped to the address im provided with and cannot be changed after the order is placed. No exceptions, sorry!

Mask info:

- You will receive a BLANK white urethane mask kit. The finished photos are just an example of what the mask can look like when completed.

- This is not a piece of safety equipment, this is a wearable prop. Please use common sense.

- This mask can be primed with any spray primer ( auto or otherwise) and painted with acrylics or whatever you prefer. Seal with clear coat to prevent scuffs after painting.

- This urethane is sensitive to heat. Please keep it out of direct sunlight as it can warp under it's own weight when hot.

-If the mask does not fit, It can be heat shaped by immersing it in very hot water and shaping gently while soft. You can also use a heat gun or heat in the oven at around 175 degrees for a few minutes. Set the shape you want by immersing the warm mask in cold water or leaving on an upturned bowl or object to hold the shape while it cools.

- This is a project that should be attempted by adults or under adult supervision. Please read all safety warnings on materials you use. I am not responsible for any injuries sustained while customizing these masks.

-This mask fits most faces but a perfect fit is not guaranteed.

- Do not use this as safety equipment or a welding mask or anything else but costuming. I am not responsible for injuries sustained through improper use of this mask.
