So I did the best I could, and although it wasn't perfect, it had to do...
I really struggled with the Phantom's mask. The first one was way too wide, and too thick, so I tried a second time. Of course, with Apoxie it was never going to be in scale since the real mask was made using vacuum form plastic over a plaster casting of the actor's face. And my Rex is 1/4 scale, so realistically his mask should be 1/4 the thickness of the real mask - which would be thinner than a sheet of paper - so no matter what I made it out of it would be too thick. So I did the best I could, and although it wasn't perfect, it had to do... ...and 'onstage'......

His mask looks fine and he looks great - and very mysterious and just a little bit sinister.

Thanks! The mask turned out good enough, but I love him without it. Then he's very mysterious, almost looks like Dracula, but way more handsome.
