Making Majora’s Mask

majora's mask

Majora’s Mask is one of the most recognizable things in all of the Legend of Zelda games. Instructables user magicman391 built one, and he began by making a computer model of the mask in Rhino just to get the placement of each section down. He did a clever thing and split the mask into three segments in Rhino so he could print a top view of each piece and put it on layers of pink foam. This allowed him to easily get the right shape. Here’s how he proceeded from there:

Now most people know pink foam is good for doing rough shapes and has no real permanence especially with the introduction of solvents sooooooo I coated the foam with a layer of my favorite material of all time… epoxy putty, specifically in this case I used Apoxie Sculpt.

Next came the fun part (I jest since bondoing and sanding takes a long time and is very repetitive) I apply a layer of bondo to the surface to even it out, followed by immense amounts of sanding, then repeated this process several times. I followed the final sanding step of bondo with spot putty to fill in the small gaps, then of course sanded that smooth.
