[Akealy2000]

where do u get liquid latex from

[llcloughp]

Where did you get the white mask for building the model?

[LEPrecon007]

@llcloughp at any Halloween store

[m2dark4u]

Im working on a cosplay and need a mask like this. I have a question, do you have to wait for the whole thing to dry each time for each layer??

[freeloder17]

green hornet :D

[sinstrophobia]

do u know were to buy film for an 8mm movie camera?

[SujunCho]

question~ i'm cosplaying Robin from young justice for comic con but in most hero movies i've seen especially bat man they the mask has a certain bulkiness around the brow and the bottom area of the eye socket to me this video is great but the mask seems kinda flat. If i want to make the mask thicker should i add more layers of paint/latex after it dries a couple more times?

[lolcabreralol]

@SujunCho Hey, i'm cosplaying robin from Teen Titans for the con. I was thinking of doing exactly that. Just keep adding layers where it needs to be.

[KrysxKatastrophe]

Fantastic! Will definitely try. 

[olivertopdollar]

kickass



[MrMuFcwholovesLego]

does it need to be latex paint because i cant find any in my local stores ?

[ArtistKid77]

[poweredbyJS32]

[kittysrcute]

Sweet Now I Can Make My Nightwing Mask :P

[DUnstoppables]

[RandomizationShow]

@DUnstoppables IKR?!

[kittysrcute]

@DUnstoppables Fuck Yeah Man Respect Right There ;D ,I even got my hair Dyed Black and Making escrima Sticks

[GTAtomten]

Mixing acrylic paint into the latex also works great. There's no need to get specific latex paint.

Thumbs up so people can see.

[LTNguyen12]

Wow. This will be great for my Wild Tiger mask!

[starwarsboy66]

robin and batman



[luqmanshuffle]

CicakMan.... with the cool red looking costume and the mask

[orpingtondood]

could you include eyelids into the latex ?

[QueenOfParadoxia]

i was wondering if there is an alternative to using black latex paint that would get the same effect. anybody?

[TheOceanspray99]

@QueenOfParadoxia you could put on a opaque layer of make up to your actors face. Then use water or make-up remover to sculpt the shape of the mask. Make sure that the the actor's skin is not visible under the layer of make up.

[Kamikazebutterfly]

Where did you buy the black latex paint?

[alakazam0master]

If I were to make this and go party, would it stay on? Would sweat take it off?

[KrysxKatastrophe]

@alakazam0master I do make up for people at haunted houses. I promise the mask will NOT fall off due to sweat! Spirit gum adhesive is VERY powerful stuff, only a little bit will keep your mask on for hours. Just be very careful not to stick the mask to your eyebrows.

[MrLegoboy21]

big daddy

[ps3slyfan]

where do you get black latex paint

[legomaster615]

@ps3slyfan he mixed the black latex paint with the liquid latex right at the beggining of the tutorial

[linchinn]

Regarding the latex paint-Is that the only suitable paint, or do you think acrylic may do the job? Thanks.

[yaazyy]

@linchinn i just finished making one, and i used acrylic. turned out great!

[linchinn]

@yaazyy

Ha, same here-I just decided to go with it. Worth the risk-Thanks though!

[RiverClanMedicineCat]

Very nice tutorial! Thanks :D

[XxNoOneSpecialxX]

Keep pressing three :)

[mandaXmassacre]

I'm working on making a Harley Quinn mask right now! :)

[Suckmygoth]

Is this a one-time use mask or can you reuse it with spirit gum?I'm trying to get together a damian wayne robin outfit for halloween.

[KrysxKatastrophe]

@Suckmygoth Take it off very carefully and it should be good for lots of uses. I've built lots of latex wounds and facial pieces and have never had a problem with them falling apart when I take them off.

[FourHandVids]

no dremmel!?? whats wrong ZAACK!??

[galvatronprime1]

v from v for vendeta

[djclean12]

[naruesputa]

My favorite is SPIDERMAN and DAREDEVIL!

[cal12378]

Nightwing

[mrarbiter200]

my favorite costume is batman custom its awesome dude

[TheOceanspray99]

Can't you simply dye the liquid latex with food coloring?

[N0GGINB0NKER]

So it takes 15 coats, and you have to let it dry overnight. Is that overnight per coat, or do you get it somewhat dry with hair dryer and do all the coats which dry overnight?

[KerpowYqueso]

@N0GGINB0NKER

I believe you dry each coat separately with the hair dryer and then let the whole thing dry overnight.

[ttegdapz1]

How do you make a full face mask like the ones spiderman and deadpool wear?

[CanIhascarrot]

it would be really helpful with a written shopping list. :D anyway, really nice, thanks I'll totally use this!

[MatthewJordanPhoto]

I had a go at making this because it looks awesome but mine turned out to have a very bumpy surface. Anyone know why this might have happened?

[alepilam]

dragonfly man (from super hero movies) !!! lolz xD !!

[robby07darkangel]

your a genius! all your inventions(some sort of) are so cool!!!!

[BlazingSaddle1]

Wow this is a great tutorial man! I'm trying to make a live action superhero show. You wanna make the costumes? haha.

As for my fave hero...Batman. (or the Cape but I think we're doing classic ones)

I've always been a bit of a Batman geek but I like the villains in the show and movies better... I absolutely adore the Joker and the best villainess of all time: Harley Quinn by far!

[whowantsabighug]

Sunflower Man... Because i am him.

[maxy22228]

puppet zack should be host

[pseudodeaths]

This is way cool! Thanks. (:

And probably Nightwing haha.

@MrRobertGillan green hornet

[TheBathroomhumor]

Rorschach. I just love the detective look and his mask is awesome.

[battlebrowler]

batmanis my favert superhoer

[MultiJake3000]

i have a request. i would like the unfolding sword from startrek.

[RomanceNovelHarlot]

I wish they would show the completed project. Once they put the mask on the girl, as soon as the camera would get in a position where we can really see what the final results look like, it would be a jump cut. I found it frustrating to see this great tutorial and not have the makers show it off at the end.

[DarknessMaster55]

Oh oh do The Mask as in Loki's mask from the movie The Mask with Jim Carrey. You know with that green head cartoony guy

[danieliv1]

My favorite superhero is: Big Daddy from Kick-Ass

[1zak11]

Make a ninja star

[cazuh1]

@1zak11 It's been done. Look up bfx ninja.

[DuelistOsiris]

Sweet build, but are there and good substitutes for the liquid latex for those with a latex allergy?

[FreshGroup]

Zack's cool, but what happened to actually spinning the wheel?

[mg0930mg]

@FreshGroup Even if you look back at Erik's videos, sometimes he didn't spin the wheel. It happens.

[Dominator021297]

Thumbs up if u think puupet Zack ROCKS!!!!!

[wiiman646]

@Dominator021297 fuck that i liked gary better

[TheCynthiasramos]

please make a green lantern movie ring

[dastanza]

nightwing



[alaskajax]

The Punisher

[Horrorfreak106]

my favorite super hero costume guy or mask... is the green hornet! They are kick ass!

[Massmurdajohn]

Very nice build idea. Is it possible to use the black liquid latex to avoid the long wait? Would you suggest making a double just in case the first one tears on set, or is it durable enough after it drys that it won't be a problem? Lastly, are there any good online templates for hero masks?

[lonerider234]

my favorite super hero costumes are: Captain America, Thor, and The Cape

[Deadpool265]

@CafaroVids your average costume store should have it. i got one at a cosume shop for about $2

[Deadpool265]

darn you zack! you make this look easy! I tried 3 times. it failed all 3 times. it got all bubbley and bumpy and not good,

[FlamingWarrior7]

my favorite superhero costume is spiderman maybe you can make a spiderman related prop like a goblin glider or goblin mask or maybe a pumpkin bomb prop or a fully moveable symbiote costume prop atleast something spiderman related possibly. Thanks for reading

[crampable]

I think this is AWESOME thanks alot!!

[PrettyLolly8]

I tried to do the mask, but It's horrible, It's not smooth like yours, and It's sticky, I have to wait all night as you said in the video for each layer if I want to make it as smooth as yours? T_T

[GartenCabal]

@ booley, thanks a lot !!

[loggancun]

either rorshack or the comedian

[CafaroVids]

Where can i get the smooth mask?

[GartenCabal]

i'm not very good with english and even watching the video i can't get very well all the shopping list. Can someone please write it down for me all that is necessary?

It will be good in english (i'll then translate with a translator) or italian,

Thanks a lot :)

[booley]

@GartenCabal

A smooth mask ( to paint the mask on)

Liquid Latex and something to apply it with.

Black latex paint.

[AineYukihiko]

Thanks so much for posting this. It will really help out a lot with my Harley Quinn outfit.

[misterperfect69]

@AineYukihiko is it weird if i think shes hot??

[AineYukihiko]

@misterperfect69 I don't think it's weird at all. Hell, I'm straight and even I think she's hot. ^.^ I'm even making a straight jacket for the outfit.

[misterperfect69]

@AineYukihiko hhaha awesome :D

[TheDemonJester]

I am really glad that I'm not in a position like Zack, it must be so discouraging to look at the comments and see all the "I want Eric" back comments.

Look people Eric was good but he had other things he wanted to do and Zack is a good builder who knows what he's doing, has the charisma to host a show and all he gets is "I want Eric back" like children crying for "Mommy".

Zack and Eric are both awesome, they're just very different hosts. Get over it already.
