The basics:

-This is for one (1) cast white urethane unpainted, unfinished helmet with two (2) clear cast ears. Ears will need to be attached with epoxy or another appropriate glue, be sure to use some epoxy putty around the base where the helmet and ears meet to really secure it. The finished pictures are just an example of what can be done.

- Please keep in mind that the plastic is sensitive to heat and the ears are prone to warping if not displayed/stored properly.

- 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 upholstery foam for comfort and fit. 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!

- Please do not buy a mask if any of the above is an issue!

Mask info:

- You will receive a BLANK white urethane mask. 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 when wearing these!

- This mask can be primed with any spray primer 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 prolonged sunlight as it can warp under it's own weight when hot.

-If the mask does not fit or deforms from bearing it's own weight for too long, use a heat gun/hairdryer to heat and soften the back and front to soften the urethane until pliable. Pull gently to shape. Set the shape you want by immersing the warm mask in cold water or leaving on an upturned bowl or object to hold the desired shape while it cools.

- I recommend displaying these masks on a paper towel holder or motorcycle helmet display or a hat display to prevent warping that can occur from bearing it's own weight during long term display. If storing, please use bundled cloth/foam/paper inside the mask to support the shape.

- 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.
