Please refer to this before inquiring about an order you placed: http://missmonster.myshopify.com/blogs/news -Please order to your current, correct address. If you may be moving soon, please have it sent to a friend. I cannot send a mask to an address that is different from the one included in your order. -This is a limited run. While i will produce batches of DIY Robodogman kits after the pre-order is over, it will be limited. -The photos of the finished mask is just to show what can be done. - I will NOT be making finished versions of this mask due to each mask needing to be sized to the individual wearer's head. The basics: - This is for a Robodogman helmet kit that includes one (1) top jaw, one (1) bottom jaw and one (1) back panel. - I am including build photos and tutorials since this kit can be challenging especially if the buyer wants to articulate the jaw. This can be found here ( please note that this tutorial includes the old soft optional head and chin parts- these are NOT being offered anymore): http://missmonster.myshopify.com/blogs/news/robodogman-tutorials - These are produced one at a time in my own studio. Buyer will need to sand/remove the flash edges, fill any small surface air bubbles and assemble. - A plastic nipper, a rasp , sandpaper or a dremel can be used to refine edges.You can even use carving tools. Here is a little more detailed info. Buyer should add foam to the inside of the mask to customize the fit. Some craft/paint/kit building knowledge is recommended. I cannot provide build help beyond the info included here and in links provided. - Please be sure to provide the correct address when placing your order, all orders will be shipped to the address im provided with and cannot be changed after the order is placed. I will have to cancel your order and ask you to re-order with the correct one. No exceptions, sorry! - There are no refunds on pre-orders. - Please do not buy a mask if any of the above is an issue! - If you want any more info on buying from my shop please go through the FAQ/policy page in my shop: http://missmonster.myshopify.com/pages/f-a-q Mask info: - You will receive a BLANK white urethane mask kit . The finished photos are just an example of what the mask can look like when completed. - This mask can be primed with any spray primer ( auto or otherwise) and painted with acrylics or whatever you prefer. Wash your mask with dish soap first to remove any oils or dirt. Seal with clear coat to prevent scuffs after painting. - While there is no industry standard for handmade urethane mask thickness, i try to keep a good balance of durability and a light weight. Buyer may add to any thin spots with lightweight putty or subtract any thickness with a dremel or carving tool. Everyone has a personal preference for how thick/thin they want their mask and there is no way to predict this preference between individuals. - Elastic bands can be used for straps. Please be sure to roughen or "score" the inside part of the mask where the straps will attach. This will help the adhesive stick properly. - This urethane is sensitive to heat. Please keep it out of direct sunlight as it can warp under it's own weight when hot. If the mask does not fit, It can be heat shaped by immersing it in very hot water and shaping gently while soft. You can also use a heat gun or heat in the oven at around 175 degrees for a few minutes. Set the shape you want by immersing the warm mask in cold water or leaving on an upturned bowl or object to hold the shape while it cools. - This is a project that should be attempted by adults or under adult supervision. Please read all safety warnings on materials you use. I am not responsible for any injuries sustained while customizing these masks. -This mask fits most faces but a perfect fit is not guaranteed. Cannot be worn with glasses. - Do not use this as safety equipment or a welding mask or anything else but costuming. Use common sense, please. I am not responsible for injuries sustained through improper use of this mask. By purchasing this you acknowledge that you have read and agree with the shop's policy page and have read and agree to comply with all of the information on this page.
