Beefed Up V.1 Cowl - Pics


As I just posted in DT's V2 mod thread , I saw his post last night so today when I found myself with a couple of hours to kill and a floppy v1 Begins cowl in the basement with a crooked nose.. I ran down to Wallyworld and picked up one of those $2 masks .. I spent the rest of the afternoon glueing my fingers to both masks ! :grumble ... I have to admit I am pleased with the results..but Brin is right this thing is not a perfect fit with the latex cowl .. After a bunch of tuging and cussing I figured that out on my own .. I settled for fixing the nose and using the plastic cowl glued some definition in the brow and lines... basically I hit the hit spots and glued to those..

It isn't close to being as smooth as DT's V1 ..

Before ..see the crooked nose ..

After ...

I still have a little work to do around that right eye and I don't know what's up with the ears ?? I hadn't noticed that until I saw the pics downloaded... looks like the one on the right in the photo is at least 1/2" shorter ...?? I have been messing with it all day and never noticed !

I went to the Universe of the Wal today and found the masks. But it seems like the only ones they had were the smaller children's masks. They were $2.88. But on Rubie's site I see they have an Adult sized "Economy Mask". Are there adult masks outside of the toy isle?

Looks good, Tim. Are you sure the ear is shorter? Or was it just the angle the pic was taken at? Symmetrical things won't look symmetrical if the pic is taken at even a slight angle.

isnt it sad that you have to do this to make it acceptable

but I bet if you ask rubies they are proud of the result

havent seen the 2.0 version yet to know if it comes with velcro or something


but this is a great refit and actually makes it more movie accurate since in the film he's supposed to be wearing a head shell


very cool

2nd version has a velcro back, but this shows you how to add a zipper, and make the cowl much better.

Go to Party City! They have the adult version of the plastic face mask. Maybe it'll fit a little better... I don't know as I haven't tried this yet...

I was just at Party City and picked up an adult Batman plastic mask. I don't know if I will be making a Begins mask or not but I am ready if I decide to! lol

Are you talking about the plastic face mask that is like 3$ @ Walmart? How much is it at Party City??? I plan on picking up the Begins 2.0 Cowl there soon.
