Monster Mask

Incredible Monster Mask

The result was great. I used recycled cardboard boxes which made it a bit trickier to make than the other card based models Wintercroft does but it was still fairly straightforward.

Amazing Monster Mask!

These cardboard masks are fantastic! I made this one and the Monster Mask II, and will be making the other 2 monster masks for the full set. The construction was straightforward, and no major problems encountered. I've made several Wintercroft masks, but using thick corrugated cardboard was just a bit different. Faster actually, considering the assembly was hot glue instead of my usual 2-sided tape. Scoring the fold lines was easy once I figured out that using 2 sizes of drywall putty knives worked out very well to squish the cardboard along the fold lines. Surprisingly, the hardest part was the internal head support. For whatever reason, the instructions weren't terribly clear to me. I just would have worded it differently and ordered some of the parts differently. The internal support for Monster Mask II was actually easier than this one. Overall.... amazing super fantastic masks! I love these oversized corrugated cardboard ones! Release more monsters!!!!! Keep up the great work Wintercroft!

Satisfying project

The template is elegant and clever. . The instructions are sufficient. I took about 13 hours plus more time to put together a "dress" to wear with the mask. Here are some things to think about if you take this on: - Don't make the eyes first if this is your first mask; the eyes are difficult and not typical off the rest of the mast. - The hair really is heavy. I might try a different material. I solved the problem in this go-round by putting weights in the nose. - The hanging jaw leaves the wearer's chin and neck visible. I solved this problem by adding teeth and fixing the jaw in a more closed position. - The internal structure is excellent for making the mask stable and robust. It's tricky to glue in place; patience is the best tool. - I haven't figured out a way to improve the ability to see out of the mask. I'm interested in hearing from others. - The suggestion for using a glue gun is spot on! Thanks so much for making these templates available! I'm so pleased with the result.

Worst of all the masks

The instructions are ambiguous at best, I have made lots of the wintercroft masks and this is just not well explained, I have already had to reprint multiple times and still can't work out what the instructions are getting at. :(

Amazing designs
