Custom Orders

 

What will it cost? What you want can radically impact the price of your order.  You can get quick 3d printing quote here.  The rest of this page serves as a starting point for what different fake taxidemy options cost.  Do you dream of a prototype that has features not listed here?  Ask me if I can make your idea a reality.  What animal do you want on your head?  I spent years working for a zoo and a natural history museum so I am quite comfortable with the skull morphology and pelts of a wide range of animals.  If you want to look like a beaver-serker I can make it happen.

SCA combat is very abussive and my war prototype overheated because of running for hours after 2 days of fighting.  I cannot guarantee the durability of the peices that are involved in SCA combat at this time.  A lot of the cheaper options listed here are what I did for my war prototype. The more expenssive options are ways I may be able to improve the durability.

 

Pick your fake skull material

  • Great Stuff 50$

  • Polystyrene foam $100

  • Cushion Foam $200

 

Pick your skin

  • Simple paper mache 150$

  • Fake fur 500$

Most of the cost here is labor.  I had to sew several mock-ups of the BearCam to make the pattern right.  If you asked me to make a wolf skull the pelt to go on top of it will require a skull shaped in a way I have not done yet and a new pattern.

 

Pick your teeth

  • Quick steel $50

  • Rubber       $150

 

How’s it going to stay on my helmet?

  • Duct tape -$0 you buy your own

  • String -$50 only viable on spangen helms

  • Magnets -$50 only viable on mild steel helmets

 

 

Pick you other eye

Cloth dot - $0 when I was packing for war I was really rushed to get the prototype done and just put a cloth black dot when the other eye should be.

Cameras that don't need to take a beating and keep on rolling

are even cheaper

 

Okay, I know what I want!

Email me your selected design as well as the dimensions of your helmet.  If you send me a photo of your helmet and a drawing of your desired product I will be faster at making your idea a real object but it is not absolutely necessary.

 

I calculate the price range to be $340 to $1400 where are the hidden costs? Shipping, Taxes and unlisted custom services will likely increase the cost range to the level listed above.
