I will be making many copies of these. If there is any interest, let me know. I plan on offering them as a package at a reduced price as well, for those interested in both. :yay:

[Steyin]

Whats the material? I have a cowl already, but its "wobbly" due to being rubber/urethane. I'd kill for a cowl that's a solid material, like it actually is in the films.

[JBrown437]

Cowl's in the movies are made of foam latex. Mine are urethane as well; however, they are not wobbly. How is it that yours wobbles?

[Kaizer]

I've been looking for a decent cowl. How much?

[Steyin]

Because it is not a solid/hard material that will crack when broken. I want a cowl that will shatter like the scene where they test it in BB, or how Bane will break it in TDKR.

[SplitBusVanatic]

Hi there.
How much for both masks ?
Thank you.

The broken mask that you see in the trailer isn't a wearable cowl, it's a prop copy of the cowl probably cast in some type of resin or plastic. That being said, I could certainly cast copies of my cowl in plastic. It just wouldn't be wearable.

Hey JBrown. PM sent mate regarding Bane mask



Cheers

Thanks again for the mask mate! Here's the result of my painting scheme:

This is a different paint scheme I havent seen. I like the color of blue you used on it and it looks as if you did a decent job of paint application.

I'm going to have to go with my earlier comment that what Im seeing as poor paint applications, which some of them clearly have been, is a result of the mask itself. Looks rough, not smooth, which is making the paint apps look very poor. Im assuming this is the mask that most everyone has been using as Im seeing the same flaws in all but a couple.

[SUPARNOVAX]

That's the paint scheme based on the clean Bane mask that's at display at one of the clothing boutiques selling officially licensed TDKR shirts and stuff.

[Trust me]

Haha classic! Thx a mil rdmaul and supernovax!!

I second this notion.

http://i.imgur.com/5u46t.jpg

[Trust me]

Hey darkseid. Cheers for the comments. Yeh the scheme is a combination of the one seen in the show exhibit as supernovax mentioned and the football field weathering.

Personally I think it's a solid bane sculpt. Sure some of the finer details and finishes might not be spot on but the general proportioning is great and the price very reasonable.

Cheers

Actually the mask you have been seeing mainly around the web is the Gotham City FX and to be completely honest from 4 feet away in person the flaws are not even noticeable. You have to remember all these shots are taken up close and personal and flaws tend to appear that close.

[WarrenPeace2012]

So what kind of paints are you guys using on your masks? and I'm guessing spray paint is a no-no

[TanneRain]

I think most people have been using acrylic paints for the Urethane cast masks from JBrown, most people probably thinning them with waters, I don't know what kind of paint people have been using for the GothamcityFX mask. Anyone have an idea?

I used acrylics on mine.

Same here when I had my GCFX

[WarrenPeace2012]

Ok cool. I did see some acrylic spray paint, but for some reason I have this idea in the back of my head that spray paint is not a good idea.

[SHADOWBAT69]

I used 2 different acrylic sprays on mine. Lightly misted coats. Krylon brand.

This is how it turned out:

http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z32/niteshade2244/Bane%20Costume/006.jpg

Now, the GCFX mask did come with a primer coat on it and Im sure that had something to do with it. I believe John just sends his "raw". So you would probably have to clean it before doing any paint work.

[TanneRain]

Clean it with what exactly?

[WarrenPeace2012]

Ok thanks for the tips guys. Anybody using any kind of padding because the mask is a bit loose?

[SHADOWBAT69]

Clean it with what exactly?

Theres a couple different things you can use to clean the urethane. Acetone being one. I would contact John, if that's whos mask you have, and ask his recommendation.

I know I have to pad my GCFX mask. Just cut some foam and play around with placement until you get the right fit.

[BANE 510]

great looking mask

[kingAL11]

Ya I'm interested in this mask, looks really good.

[Rdmaul]

You guys wont be disappointed with Jbrown's mask! very nice and quality mask!

[kingAL11]

@Rdmaul, do you know if that is JBrown's mask with someone's custom paint job on the first page(blue paint)? If so, I hope he is still taking requests. That paint job highlights the details in the mask

[Rdmaul]

Yes it is JBrowns Mask, here is a close up of mine http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a114/maddsurf/TDKR%20Bane%20New%20Pics/556506_442260712474410_2120195459_n.jpg

[BANE 510]

I definitely want one of these

[kingAL11]

WOW, that mask looks legit. thats a nice paint job, is that his paint job or your's, sorry for all the questions lol

[Rdmaul]

I ordered one from JBrown a couple weeks ago, can't wait to get it!!!
RdMaul, what kind of paint did you use to paint it? I bought a variety of acrylic craft paints, mostly black and dark green.

[warorgyman]

Hi, I'm really interested in Bane's Mask, what's the price?

[Steyin]

Any more photos of the Cowl? I notice from the original post images that there seems to be no underside to the nose.

Also, I have noticed in every cowl replica I have seen that the nose is crooked. Is this from the master mold, or is this just a mistake? I noticed the same issue in a shot from the art of the trilogy book with the BB cowl in a closeup shot of when Batman is in the Tumbler attack mode.

I can't stand how it looks when I wear my cowl, so I'd love to get my hands on a cowl that doesn't look screwy.

JBrown, can you PM me any additional info you have? Thanks.

[Petos]

How much are you selling the bane mask for and will it fit a 23 inch head?

[Gothams Reckoning]

PM Sent!

[Cold_Slither]

I got my JBrown mask, it's awesome!!! I'm going to paint it this week.
I highly recommend it to anyone who wants an affordable replica!

[Gothams Reckoning]

I've been trying to get a hold of him, because they do seem pretty well shaped

[Luckyslev]

Hey, I was wondering if you could send me the information for the Bane mask? I'm very interested in one.

[Phil-Horan]

How much would it cost for a fully painted Bane mask for a 22-23 inch head? It looks screen accurate, really well done on the detail of the mask!

[coldnetwork]

Hello, these masks are the best, do we pm JBrown about masks or just post here and he pms us. I am sure he is busy so I don't want to fill his inbox with unnecessary clutter.

[Jokerthug]

Hey guys I am selling my JBROWN BANE MASK. It is brand new and unpainted. I would like to just sell it unpainted, but if someone wants it painted I can do that as well. There is no wait time, it is ready to ship. I just changed my mind and am doing a different costume for halloween this year. Selling it at COST. Please PM or email me if interested.

Hello Trust, can you tell me what kind of colors you used? and their color?
I ask anyone who knows! : D
Know if the painting was done with a brush or airbrush?
Hello everyone!

[Trust me]

Hey mate. I don't have records of what paint names I used but they were basically a mix of mineral blues and greys. They are arcrylics painted by hand.

Love the Bane Mask. If you're still selling it would it be possible to buy one off of you?

[DickWayne]

nice job!

[beetlequeen]

I just just got mine and I'm preparing to paint. I have acrylics but I'm a bit worried about cracking or chipping away when the paint is dry and stretched over the head. Is this a legit concern or am I just overthinking this?

[alfonuxx]

Where can I purchase this mask??

[alfonuxx]

PM me if interested. Thanks for all the kind words guys!
I'm Interested in a bane mask please get back at me, I tried sending you a PM but your box is full.

Thank you

[yuhboi]

Hello, I am also curious to how much a mask would be and your PM box is full. Please message me.

[dcantizzle]

Are these still available to buy? I am very interested.

[Obrion31]

I just wanted to find out if the bane masks are still available and if so, how much they are? Please send me a message to let me know.
