(This page includes easy to understand instructions for each of the members old masks along with links to places where certain imortant goods can be found and bought.)
Mick, Joey and Chris all seem to have the same mask for now, so the instructions for them will remain the same and can be found in the above link.
New Masks: Designed with the help of special effects artist Screaming Mad George. Corey "It was really cool to work with somebody who has the same kind of vision. If you look closely, there's a nipple on my mask! It's supposed to look like old skin that's been cut up and sewn together. It rules, dude!"
The old masks were basicly sewn and riveted together with leather and other parts. After two years of abuse they were in pretty bad shape. With the old masks, when something broke you were pretty much screwed unless you could fix it yourself or have Vigo or Yo-Yo (Vigo a.k.a KingVigo helped make the first masks) close enough to fix it. The new masks are molded and produced in much the same way as "Hollywood" horror movies do it. The molds are already set up so if you trash one there is always a back up plan.
Craig' New Mask:
First, go here and pick up a black sleevless anchored hood. Make sure it comes with eye holes. Next, cut off the anchor part - the part that goes around your chest and shoulders. Following this you should add a zipper where your mouth is. To do the nose holes, take two metal eyelets and push them through the neoprene for your nose. Next, get some 9-10 inch nails. You'll need about 20- but get extra in case. Then, on a piece of paper, draw out plans on how to stick the nails through the hood- it needs to be organized. Usually there's one row down the center that is spaced 2 inches apart. My advice is to see craigs picture for a better idea. Then, once the nails are all in place, carefully place heavy duct tape on the inside of the hood, so the nails won't fall out. The nails must have fairly large heads, or they will slip through. Alternatively, you could sew a large section of black cloth to the inside of the mask - but it is difficult. If all goes well, you should have a decent craig mask.
the remaining masks will be up shortly
