Kigurumi mask to GIVE AWAY~!!!

Indeed the title is not spelt wrong. I have a kigurumi mask which I wish to give away. The only catch is, it is partially finished. However if you read my mask making tutorials, it is at a stage very close to being finished. The most demanding tasks are done.

Before I put it in the bin, I am wondering if anyone out there wishes to take over my tasks from here and complete the unfinished mask.

I realised that I do not have the time and patience to make 2 masks instead of one this time and will like to give the partially finished one away. This is due to my heavy work load and orders coming in for a new T-fa custom mask. Also, this new model is for meant personal use, there is no need for me to make two of it, I have no orders for it yet as its an unreleased model. I thought, why not just give it away just to recover the cost. I can always make another one if I need to and I do not have much room to store the partially finished mask.

The taker will pay for the shipping and US$100 negotiable, so just contact me if you are interested. I think its only fair that I do not need to pay your shipping to give you something.

What you are actually paying for are:
1) My time and effort to sculpt a highly photogenic model. It is an extremely photogenic design (this model is the beauty/sexy range) to supersede the Asuka model.

2) My time and effort to cast the original in silicone then in fibreglass and then smoothing the mask and spray painting until it is safe to hold and sand. (the partially finished mask has been sanded down for sharp edges, eye holes drilled and even painted in pale yellow. Putty has also been applied over the holes.) Just sand the putty down and repeat another once or twice depending on quality.

3) A chance to DIY if you do not wish to have everything done for by others and in turn you spend less money, and don't mind spending your time.

4) Almost complete artwork. Finished product will have the usual US$849 price tag or more.

5) A chance to own your own mask for a very low price if you do not mind doing some craft work by yourself.

Previously, I have to turn down people whom has approached me to request for unfinished masks for a low price simply because I do not recover my costs much for selling unfinished masks. This time I already have one, so I need to get rid of it by hook or by crook ...or by bin.

Any artists out there who wishes for a blank canvas at a rock bottom price, this is meant for you. It most likely will not come by again, I do not throw masks away so often.

Interested to know more about its cast, visit this thread over here which contains the original head form. It will give you an idea how the mask will look like when sanded down to smooth. Click on the link below.

I posted some pictures of the mask below. The white stuff is the putty, I have already started filling in the holes. But got lazy from the tedious sanding process, I decided to abandon it. After you sand it finish and patch up the holes a second round, it should be as smooth as glass (if you're a keen worker). Interested takers will receive free guidance and discussion for help needed though depend on your own creativity and artistic skills more over me.
