Bonk Boy Mask Tutorial - Team Fortress 2

thehappymaskshop:

I know I’m going to have a field day with the masks from Valve’s Team Fortress 2. Thankfully I don’t make hat tutorials or I would never escape. So here’s a Bonk Boy mask for Scout (a class that I suck terribly at, mind you). Probably the first “clean” looking mask I’ve ever made.

Here’s what you’ll need:

- Cintra PVC foamboard(3mm thick)

- Paper Clay(not pictured)

- Hot glue gun

- Metallic paint (I used Folk Art Metallic Bright Red, Folk Art Metallic Silver Sterling, and Folk Art Metallic Inca Gold)

- Sand paper (Medium)

- X-acto blade

- Scrap paper and board

- Cheap plain mask or mold (Optional - I found it made shaping the cintra MUCH easier)

- Elastic band

In order to enter the contest, you MUST do at least one of the following things:

1. Reblog this post (likes don’t count! you must reblog it to enter!)
   
2. Watch me on deviantART and comment on this journal
3. Like me on facebook and comment on this post

Doing all three increases your chances of winning.

You can also increase your chances of winning by doing the following things:

• Follow this tumblr (starboardabbey)
• After watching me on dA, make a journal on your own deviantART page with a link to my contest, then link your journal, in reply to or as your deviantART entry comment, here
• After liking me on facebook, post a link of my facebook page on your own wall, take a screenshot of it, and comment on this facebook contest thread with a link to the screenshot.

Your chances of winning increase with each of the things above, meaning you can be entered up to six times. You MUST do one of the first three things above in order to be officially entered, however. Although the winners will be chosen at random from the many ways to enter, you can only win ONCE per contest, so first, second, and third place winners will be three different people.

This contest will end on Wednesday, November 30th, 2011, and the winners will be announced Thursday, December 1st, 2011.

If this contest does well, I might be doing them more often, so spread the word!! Even if you don’t win this time, if you help get the word out, you could be a winner next time!

Thanks for reading, and good luck! c:
