He was eaten up with leprosy and the mask covered his mutilated face A Ridley Scott movie, The Kingdom of Heaven, 2005 depicts a silver mask wearing Baldwin IV as well. He is also depicted thusly by Umberto Eco in his book Baudolino. The other image I take from this mask is the 2008 movie Prince Caspian – not a great movie, but beautiful props and seamless CGI. The Spanishesque armor and masks are actually what first came to mind when I saw this prop mask.CoastConFanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07250561260148656254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-423050459919800481.post-1282503077575509982012-09-05T08:07:28.799-07:002012-09-05T08:07:28.799-07:00I never would have guessed adding metal powder to ...I never would have guessed adding metal powder to a resin cast would give such a neat finish.

Adding a faint coat of jeweler's rouge could probably make a great copper finish.<br /><br />DrPnakoticnoreply@blogger.com
