How to build a MYSTIC from THE DARK CRYSTAL

Step 2 The Starting Mask

We start with a mask called NOSTRO, which I bought on ebay. It arrived much redder than the picture so I ripped off all of the hair and stripped off most of the red paint leaving it more of a natural skin tone ( with a rag and some old furniture stripper). I then cut off both ears carefully making both cuts the same. Save the ear for the jaw later. The beard is also used later for filling in spots here and there.
