Borderlands Psycho Mini Mask Resin Magnet - Handmade Refrigerator Art
Inspired by the original Psycho Bandit character from the Borderlands video games, this mini mask magnet is a great display piece for your refrigerator or any other magnetic surface. At one-third scale, the magnet is approximately three inches tall. I sculpted the magnet entirely by hand using oil-based clay and traditional sculpting techniques.
OFF-WHITE DIY
This is an off-white, unpainted urethane resin. It may be painted using a variety of techniques and paint types (acrylic, lacquer, etc).
FULLY PAINTED
This is a fully painted and highly detailed paint job which closely matches the look of the mask in the video game. It includes the hand-drawn "cel-shaded" look that characterizes the game's art style.
DIY COPPER, ALUMINUM, or BRONZE
This is a cold-cast finish with real metal powder embedded in the surface of the resin. It comes unpolished -- you can polish and weather it to whatever level of finishing you would like. Before polishing, the surface has a dull color. To bring out the metal look, a light buffing with steel wool is required (0000 grade steel wool is recommended). Weathering may be added by first applying a light coat of paint, then buffing over the paint with steel wool, leaving some paint down in the hard-to-reach areas. It's also possible to achieve a rusty or tarnished look using various metal patina solutions.
FINISHED COPPER, ALUMINUM, or BRONZE
This is a fully polished cold-cast finish which includes a light level of weathering using acrylic paint.
All versions have a strong neodymium magnet embedded permanently in the back surface.
