For some time I've wanted to get my New Don Post Tor (Wrestler) customized to look like the original 60's version. Especially the version seen in this pic and vintage 60's ad.

Since no one has ever seen one with eyebrows , this pic and vintage ad were the only pics to work from.
Customized by our own Minion (Aaron Lewis), I give you Vintage Tor...with eyebrows.
Before ( Not mine, but looked exactly the same, hope you don't mine be borrowing the pic Bobby)

This pic dosen't do him any justice. I'll have to snap one that really shows of the detail of his work.
Excellent transformation! The eyebrows are a nice touch, just like the old ads.
Really nice!
(But I'll admit - I was hoping to see some Classic Kubert!)
Best,

Looks great! Excellent work!
(But I must say that I first thought of a Joe Kubert caveman too when I read the thread topic!)

Here is a flash pic of him with a few of his other DP buddies.

He looks right at home with his buddies!
Looks fangtastic Doc!
Nothing beats a classic Don Post.
Wow! What a great job!!
You mask guys are going to get me killed. Thanks to you I just bought calendar re-issues of the Mole People and Mr. Hyde for cheap on e-bay. Nothing that's going to make anyone here flip, but enough to rekindle an interest in masks, and quite likely cost me a whole bunch more money in the near future.
That's kind of how I started. A couple Don Post calendar reissues for cheap, then another, then dabbling with more expensive vintage masks, then whoops! Somehow I had become a mask collector. Thank goodness I'm concentrating on Topstones, which I can usually find for cheap. Usually.
Once you start getting into foaming and restoration, forget it. You're done.
