Every time I've gone through the trouble of doing a mold I've always done at least two juuust in case: lost, broken, not suitable for the mask maker, etc. And for what its worth - I'd much rather a mold get lost on the front end than a completed mask on the back end. Hope it all works out. What'd you go with on your future PC? Or TBD? Thanks. Yeah it's happened to us the past month or so with fedex. I'm going to do the mold on monday. What I got is just plain white with a silver tri cat cage. I'm taking the upcoming season off b/c of hip issues and such, but don't want to risk my head getting hurt in my off year lol. I talked with the guy and I believe I'm going with the style shell that Price used, at least that's what he recommended so I went with that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
406goalie Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Shots of my custom painted tribute mask to my grandparents. They both passed away in the last couple of years and were Navy vets. I’m currently in Bauer Ultrasonics but have Bauer Mach coming next week in the retail black. Excited to get new photos in the new gear once the season finally starts in 2 weeks or so. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't touched it yet but will trim it down a little in the front. Probably try and do a drop on the front so it's not digging in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder35 Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 (edited) They're gone I just mailed my last set of vintage gear to my grandson. They weren't vintage in the mid 90's but this set of Vaughn Velocity pads, 5500 trapper and B1950 Gumby blocker have fled the collection. But now I have more room in my garage for our bikes.

Same as my Eflex set since I liked the subtle difference.

For those wondering the only differences I got vs stock was nylon lace pocket, long boot strap on a small pad, skate lace toe, and stiff boot angle Let us know how you like the new sliding material Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely weird that they’re hard to slide for small pushes but super fast for hard back doors. Feels perfect to me so I’m not oversliding anymore.

chile57 Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 (edited) Respect on the grandparents homage and sorry for your losses. Mine are in their nineties and I know I will miss them like crazy when that time comes. Well done on the paint job - definitely captures the vibe of the era on the photo reproductions.

chile57 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 (edited) @406goalie Dan painted my very first custom mask with custom paint job (NOT the one in my profile photo) I think shortly after he'd gotten into painting (?). Glad you had a good experience - mine was less so at least with communication/the process (and to be fair - was a number of years ago (2008 vintage)): long(er) than advertised lead time (less of a big deal) and misspelled my name (which was on my sketch, email address... AND the check I sent him) front and center on the chin drop (which seemed much more egregious than other bits of the process). Also didn't offer to pay the shipping back to him to correct the mistake. I was fine with the final product but the stink of the typo hung around until I got my second custom mask/paint job. Last I had known he was getting more so into tattooing and the like instead of mask painting. EDIT: Found a shot of said mask...
