Green Lantern Mask

For this project, I intend to create a Green Lantern mask out of pepakura using card stock and when I get the bondo applied and sanded I want to cast the mask in plastic since I've never done so.  Most of these beginning projects that I'm doing are so I can learn different techniques for making cosplay costumes.

So far I have:

  • cut the pepakura template out of card stock
  • folded the pieces in preparation for being glued
  • hot glued the pepakura pieces together


Next steps:

  • resin both sides
  • fiberglass
  • bondo
  • sand
  • primer
  • make mold
  • cast mask
  • make adjustments
  • paint
  • optional: finish original mask (paint)

Template is mostly cut out (I forgot to take a before pic so I set the cut pieces back in the spots where I cut them out.... oops =X)

Pieces cut out

Folded and ready to be glued

The mask is glued together and looks like it may be an okay fit for my face
