Mortal Kombat 9 Masks

Hello everyone, I haven't been on in awhile but I thought I would share what I'm currently working on.

For a local con that's coming in march I decided to start working on a costume early..well...5 costumes actually. I'm going to be making Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Noob Saibot, Smoke and Reptile costumes. Partly for the con and the other part for personal collection.

As of about 10 minutes ago I have all 5 masks pepped out. These were done one mask per day and I actually made 7 total. I started with a noob mask and a smoke mask and after fiberglassing the noob mask realized they would be too small so I resized them and made them plus the other 3.

All masks took a total of 70+ hours to finish.

Here's a few pics of them. I'll try to update this post as I have time.

Thanks for looking!

Really impressive! Have you fiber glassed the top one or is that just the shading

Thank you. That's just shading, none of them are fiber glassed yet. I'm going to be working on that over the next week. I really do dread that because of the chance they have of warping but it's gotta be done..lol.

Awesome! Nice clean work there. Have you tried test fitting them? I've always loved MK characters, I remember dressing up as Scorpion 15 years ago or so... Thanks for making me feel old...

Thanks, I've been test fitting them since assembly and they fit rather well with the exception of reptile and scorpions because well, I'm neither a lizard man nor do I have part of my skull showing..lol. All in all though, they're all wearable. Right now I'm working on scorpions swords.

I just wish I could get the rest of the files for their shoulder pads/armor pieces but maybe in time I'll rip them from the game myself.

Sorry to make you feel old but hey, look at it this way...It's the memories that are worth aging.... for the most part

I'm not too young myself but will always be a kid at heart!

Thanks everyone.

Spandroid, I got all the mask files from the pepakura gallery. The author of the files is "PepMaster".

Assassin3698, I decided that I'll probably just use the sword for display and a guide to carve some out of foam.

Spent the morning making my own pep file for the shoulder pads. First time I've done this so I hope it turns out ok!

Nice shoulders. Does that mean you will be making an entire scorpion outfit?
