If you are referring to the pics from Chuck Williams, that is a modern mask from the same mold. He even says its translucent, I posted the last pic in the thread with Robin holding one. The vintage ones are cast in a translucent flesh tone. so the color of the person wearing the mask will show through. lightly dying it pink will get the right results. Slopping flesh paint on won't.

Chuck Williams is very meticulous in his research and costume re-creations. He also notes that these Topstone masks, which are what were used , are still in production. Jan Kemp was the '66 costumer designer. Williams mentions that make-up man [likely Bruce Huthinson] added makeup to portions of the mask to blend with Throne's face.
This is apparent especially at the jawline and may be what I was thinking were painted highlights. It's interesting to compare close-ups with long-shots and to consider how the mask was modified to the corresponding lighting.Last edited by PNGwynne; Feb 5, '17, 8:27 AM.WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.Comment

^ I agree. I'm really looking forward to seeing customs--I'm undecided what base head to use.
I hope folks find my costume list handy.

I plan to do a gray-suited version. But the fedora is tripping me up. I may end up using the redheaded, whiteface AA AJ head as a base if I can't find a good hat.
I'm mulling over some others, too. An O'Hara/FF 2-pack would be apt and sweeeet.WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.Comment
