Home-made custom lego mask (tutorial in description)

Dec 12

 

Well since I didn't feel like ordering a bunch of legos flashmasks a decided to try to make my own.

 

You will need:

-Green stuff (or something like it)

-A thin but hard plastic sheet

-A stud

-A lego head to sculpt on

 

This is how you can do it for yourself step by step:

 

1-Cut of the antistud-ring part of a stud.

 

2-Glue a thin piece of plastic on top of the ring on the side you cut.

(to prevent the sculpting material to get in the antistud)

 

3-Put it onto a lego head (tip is to take a scrappy head and glue a stud underneath to make it easier to remove it afterwards and then put lots of oil(for example olive oil) on top of the head)

 

4-Make a thin pretty rough sculpt around the head.

 

5-Cut out the eye parts and the underline of the mask and sand it.

(sculpt again if needed)

 

6-Remove it from the head. (It won't stick to the head if ypu use the oil on the head)

 

7-Paint it as you want.

 

(8-Add other details to it. You can use for example a hard, thin plasticsheet or just sculpt)

 

Hope you feel inspired :)

Comment if you did get inspired and what you think of it.

This helmet is not done for what I'm going to use it for. :P
