Spider-Man Mask Restoration

Share

ESPAÑOL:


Hola a todo el mundo, aquí presento algo que hice hace 2 meses pero que nunca se me ocurrió subirlo, una restauración que hice de una mascara de Spider-Man de Hasbro.


La historia es así: estaba limpiando mi pieza (porque mi madre me obligo XD, igual no me quejo ya que yo también tenia planeado hacerlo) y arriba del todo, en un lugar donde solo podía subir con una escalera, había una bolsa llena de cosas donde entre cosa y cosa encontré una vieja mascara de Spider-Man de Hasbro del año 2010 si no mal recuerdo, estaba despintada y toda pegada con una tela gris sucia (ya que mi madre la había modificado para un evento haciéndola pasar como una mascara de Halloween), se me ocurrió la brillante idea de volverla a su estatus original quitándole toda esa tela e incluso mejorarla agregándole tela blanca y lentillas en los ojos, entonces comenzó el doloroso proceso de quitarle toda la tela esa, al principio era fácil era usar mis manos no mas, luego entre mas sacaba mas difícil se hacia, me rompí alguna uña intentado sacarla así que después de eso trate con cuchillos, tijeras, etc. la moje y seguí intentando, intente con agua caliente haciendo que me queme todas las manos, pero no funciono tampoco ya que quedaban pequeños pedazos de plasticola imposibles de sacar y todo lo que lograba era romper la mascara (la parte de las telarañas), entonces recurrí al plan B: pintarla de nuevo. Le di 3 capas de pintura roja para que no se notase tanto los pedacitos de plasticola que quedaron, deje que se seque, pinte los ojos y luego venia lo mas difícil de este proceso que era pintar las telarañas ya que eran líneas muy delgadas, en un primer intento no me gusto como quedo por lo que la pinte todo de rojo de nuevo, después se me ocurrió usar un marcador permanente haciendo que me resultase mucho mas fácil este proceso, lo deje secar toda la noche (ya que me tarde todo la tarde y noche haciendo todo lo anterior) y luego venia la parte de los ojos, agarre plástico transparente (para el reflejo de los ojos) hice las mediciones, corte y pegue, mismo proceso con la tela blanca y...LISTO!!!! Mas de 10 o 15 horas de trabajo bien invertidas.


Si bien pudo haber quedado mucho mejor estoy muy feliz con el resultado final, la verdad es que valió cada segundo ya que siempre quise tener una mascara de Spider-Man para exhibir en mi habitación y estoy mas feliz de haberlo hecho por mi cuenta. Spider-Man a significado mucho en mi vida y siempre será mi mayor inspiración.


ENGLISH:


Hello everyone, here I present something that I did 2 months ago but it never occurred to me to upload it, a restoration I did of a Hasbro Spider-Man mask.


The story goes like this: I was cleaning my room (because my mother made me XD, I'm not complaining anyway since I had planned to do it too) and at the top, in a place where I could only climb with a ladder, there was a bag full of things where between things I found an old Hasbro Spider-Man mask from 2010 if I remember correctly, it was unpainted and all glued together with a dirty gray fabric (since my mother had modified it for an event passing it off as a Halloween mask), I had the brilliant idea of ​​turning it to its original status by removing all that fabric and even improving it by adding white fabric and lenses in the eyes, then the painful process of removing all that fabric began. At first it was easy to just use my hands, then the more I pulled out, the more difficult it became. Towards, I broke a nail trying to remove it so after that I tried with knifes, scissors, etc. I wet it and kept trying, I tried with hot water making it burn all my hands, but it didn't work either since there were small pieces of glue that were impossible to remove and all I managed to do was break the mask (the part of the spiderwebs), so I start the plan B: paint it again. I gave it 3 layers of red paint so that the little pieces of glue that remained were not so noticeable, I let it dry, painted the eyes and then came the most difficult part of this process, which was painting the spiderwebs since they were very thin lines, in At first attempt I didn't like how it turned out so I painted it all red again, then it occurred to me to use a permanent marker making this process much easier for me, I let it dry overnight (since it took me the whole afternoon and night doing all) and then came the part of the eyes, I grabbed transparent plastic (for the reflection of the eyes) I made the measurements, cut and paste, same process with the white fabric and...DONE!!! ! More than 10 or 15 hours of work well invested.


Although it could have turned out much better, I am very happy with the final result, the truth is that it was worth every second since I always wanted to have a Spider-Man mask to display in my room and I am happier that I did it on my own. Spider-Man has meant a lot in my life and will always be my greatest inspiration.


Ejemplo de como se veia la mascara hace mas de 10 años (no es la misma pero tiene el mismo modelo) / Example of what the mask looked like more than 10 years ago (it is not the same but it has the same model):

That would be a great idea but I don´t know how to do it for the moment, but maybe one day I will try and make the complete mask from this one.
