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.

Someone, I suspect it was you, shared an outstanding, finished False Face custom on a Mego Facebook group today.

I'm mulling over some others, too. An O'Hara/FF 2-pack would be apt and sweeeet.

I am almost done! Oh it looks so good!

(All of a sudden the museum won't accept pics??)

^ 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 have some extra John-Boy stuff, so the engineer would be easy.

ah I want to show you what I've done but the pics won't upload here from some reason

Got my false face masks today and all I can say is I highly recommend getting these if you plan on making False Face.You can clearly see these where made exactly for false face. FTC did great with these

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.

You can even see the Malachi Throne's nose thru this one.

Did you look at the last two pics on that link? that's a fully painted mask. Nothing translucent. Seems to me this guy was a man of many of the (same) faces hence the name false face.

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.
