My first attempt at painting a blank

I picked up a blank pull of a Cryptkeeper mask and figured I'd give it a shot this weekend. Keep in mind this is my first try at this and the first time I've actually used an airbrush (ade from practicing on pieces of cardboard). I made a few mistakes along the way but that's how I learn. It was a lot of fun to try.

I've done the hair nce these pics were taken but it's still drying...will update the post with the completed pics tomorrow.

Before:



After:



I tried epoxy on the eyes and teeth:

Very Impresve if I say so myself! Kinda reminds me when Scott said it was his first time Hairing... Hmmm... Are you CERTAIN this is the first paint job you've given a mask??? Looks far to good for a first try, but what do I know... I've never used an airbrush...

I'd like to get a good

Crypt Keeper mask... It's definatly Old Skool... Not too old, but old enough! --Ryan

Thanks guys! Here's the finished pics with the hair done:









Yes it could have turned out better and once I have more experience doing these I might redo it. I'm still quite pleased with how it turned out for a first time effort.

With a first time looking the way that, does, I can't see any reason in EVER redoing it... Looks Fantastic!!!

Where did you score that at anyway? I'd love to get my hands on one...

Thanks! --Ryan
