Doom Mask

R APPLEBY · Oct 20, 2006

Just one of those side projects I take once in a while then wonder why I did it but, it turned out OK I think.

This is a fully functional helmet, my attempt at the doom mask. It is made from 16 Gage mild steel using little more than a wooden stump that has been concaved, a hammer that I rounded the face on and a few make shift tools made from scrap. The skull is hinged to allow easy accesses for wear and fits an average to small size head.

Thanks for Looking

Neat! If you paint it gold, it would look like C3PO

As an admitted comic book dork, that is really cool!

You should make the gauntlets too, time permitting. Then, all you need is a green hood and somesuch, and you're set.

Thanks all, no gauntlets this year, it took to long to build the mask. C3P0...... maybe next year....

Making a mask like that takes talent. I'm impressed.

Indeed ! Great job on that , for some reason though it gives me the willies

If I saw you wearing that in my backyard I would scream a little before I ran , I'm sure.

Thanks again all, this was for a customer who is actually having the green cape made.

That is just flat our wild Bob. You definitely are of the most creative fellas I've had the pleasure of knowing. Once Danny gets older I'm gonna have to commission a piece for him for Halloween.

Very cool indeed!

Very cool!
The expression is so odd...a little sad and confused.
