This was a painstaking process that I worked on off and on for a couple of years. Back in 2022 I created my own part 3 buck ground-up from a Plante mask after having seen the Hollywood Museum mask in person. This is a clear PETG blank from that buck pulled in 0.060 thickness, which I believe is correct to the movie mask.
The mask was base-coated front and back with Krylon Dover White, the cracks hand-etched with an x-acto knife to be as close to the original as possible (this part takes several days), painted weathering carefully applied with acrylics, then given five coats of Maimeri's patina varnish. It was finished with Krylon Kamar varnish and movie-accurate 7/8 inch straps. I can't claim it's flawless, but it's a keeper for me. Happy Friday the 13th!
