Larp Dark Elf Trophy Mask

When night falls on the lands, your prey will emerge from the underdark. Much of your village has come to fear the underground elves and the silence in which they strike. They must be stopped.

Along with your fellow hunters, you see the first dark elf leave the safety of his cave. He doesn’t have a chance to go far before your arrow finds his heart. You will take his face and leave it at the cave’s exit for a warning to his brethren.

DETAILS
Epic Armoury’s Dark Elf Trophy Mask is a face mask designed to look like the torn away face of a dark elf. Hide your face behind this stolen face of a defeated enemy kept as a trophy--proof of your warrior’s claim to skill and grand victory in battle. Made from 100% natural latex, this mask covers the whole face with roomy holes around the eyes, nostrils, and mouth for comfort.

The face itself is narrow with a long, pronounced nose, a defined chin, and marked eyebrows. Wrinkles and jagged edges give it the realistic appearance of having been torn away from the face of the victim. The complexion is dark grey with black and white shading.

Secure the mask to your face using the adjustable leather cords. Customize the mask’s appearance with Epic Effects Water-Based Makeup.

MAINTENANCE
Cleaning and Maintenance
After each use, wash the inside of the mask with a damp sponge or cloth with a mild detergent to remove the natural oils from your skin. After drying, dust it lightly with baby powder.

Additionally, this Epic Armory Latex mask requires Epic Armory Silicone Spray to help keep the latex flexible and to protect the mask against dirt, wear and tear. Spray the silicone directly on your mask and work it into the entire surface with a cloth.

Storage
Store the mask on a Styrofoam head or stuff it with plastic garbage bags to retain its shape. Do not expose the mask to direct sunlight for a prolonged period of time.
Modifications
Avoid the use of all oils and makeup colours that contain any oils. Epic Armoury Water Based Makeup can be used with the mask or on the mask itself. If necessary, carefully adjust the mask by enlarging the holes for eyes, nose and ears with sharp scissors. A small slit ending in a round hole can be cut in the back of the neck to loosen the mask. Never cut into the mask while wearing it. Foam rubber can be glued on the inside with contact glue to make the mask fit better. Let the glue dry completely before use.
