This my finished helmet that I have been posting about. I tapped it out of fiberglass from a silicone brush up mold that I made. I painted it to look like metal. Im pretty proud of myself.

Way Way before my time here in Monessen, Pa there was a theater called The Manos Theater. The first movie they ever played was Red River with John Wayne, and I guess it was a big deal.

Here at the Monessen Heritage Museum it was decided there would be a Manos Theater display. So we obtained old usher jackets that were just torn to shreds. So it was my job to make a coat out of all the other coats. It was a lot of fun but hard work, I kind of missed sewing I guess.

Here are the photos of what I had to deal with and the end process.

More photos and finished coat at the end.

And the finished coat.

My best friend in the entire world (Jon)  did this makeup a little while ago, and being a huge Xmen fan I was stoked to see it. I thought you guys would enjoy seeing it too.

He sculpted the appliance, and did all the hair work for it. To say the least when it was done I was really proud.

This is Step Two of my Elfen Lied Helmet.

Silicone Brush up Mold. And Keys.

The pins are to hold the silicone keys in place while it sets.

First off sorry I haven’t posted. Ive  been really busy with school. But I have lots of post for my readers, if i still have any.

I’ve been working on this helmet for my brother. It’s from the anime Elfen Lied. I’m about 75 percent done. And I have photos of every step so…….

One of my favorite buildings in Monessen, Pa is being torn down. It’s the most noticable building on Donner Ave.
