Hey, pimps (and pimpettes) of The Armory. I'm working on a 13-15oz semi-bake-hardened leather mask for hobgoblin awesomeness and arrow immunity in the FACE. I've got it tooled as much as I want (not much) and dyed and hardened. Just needs painting (teeth are going to be off-white), strapping, padding, and finishing. I've got Tandy's Eco-Flo Satin Shene acrylic finish and Sof Sole Leather Lube wax/oil mixture. Which finish should I use inside and which outside? Or something else you recommend?

Let me know.








PS: The dark green is somewhat less muted and black-looking in person.

Dood. that looks * awesome. I wouldn't change a thing, I would leave the teeth the way they are, it looks sick. As far as the finish part goes, IDK, I never used a finishing product on anything I made.

I'm with Soo. The nasty brown stained look seems about perfect for a hobgoblin.

That made me want to go fight, it's tight as all hell.

Thanks, guys! I'm pretty excited about it.

Got preliminary strapping done, got padding cut, just need to seal/wax/finish or whatever and put the padding in! But first: Thor's Day (ugh).

Give it the Bug eyes that .... made. The round eyes with the holes it in that made him look like a Foot Solder from Ninja Turtles
But Angry!!!

Looks awesome

Glad to see my work precedes me. Ah well- it's my fault. I've been a bit of a ghost as of late. Those 'bug-eyes' work pretty well, actually. No real obstruction of vision, and I've gotten shot with a full draw from ten feet right on the eye plate, and barely felt it.
Awesome mask, Arrakis!

don't you dare touch those teeth...this is disgusting, terrifying, ugly, and terrible...

it's perfect.

Oh my god. Such win.

I need a * mask, easily increases badassery by the thousands.

Awesome work, dude.

Thanks, guys!

I'll get some pics of it on next time I paint up: Halloween!

For teeth like that I would mix Alot of white with brown and yellow. Don't stir it all the way.
I'd also make a helmet to go woth it. I get shot in the top/back of the head more than in the mouth.
But is does look **** bad *. Good work.

****, FB beat me to it. Yeah bro, make some headgear to go with it, armor only counts for what it covers. But that's one sick murder mask regardless.
