Ever wanted to be Salem or Rios in real life? I know I have! And now you can when you wear your very own Army of Two Paintball mask. In this project you have a choice of just making it a prop, or you can go the extra mile and make it a paintball mask. This was a pretty labor intensive build and I suggest if you haven't had any experience with fiberglass and car body filler, then you should probably get some practice with them first. Shopping List: Card stock Glue (super glue or tacky glue) Fiberglass resin Fiberglass cloth (or fiberglass mat) Bondo body filler Spot putty Cheap paintbrushes Spray paint Primer Craft foam Sunglass lenses Elastic Tools: Dremel Electric sander Scissors Computer Printer Putty knife. So it all begins with a computer program called pepakura.

It takes a 3-D model and turns it into a bunch of pieces that you print off and then cut out and glue together. You can download pepakura at and I suggest that you get pepakura designer not pepakura viewer.

If you get viewer you won't be able to size the file to fit you, so get designer. After you've downloaded the designer you'll need to find an army of two mask file. Just search 'army of two pepakura file' on google and I'm sure you'll find it. Once you have the file downloaded play around with the features for a while to know what they do.
After you understand everything well you'll need to size the mask to fit you. Okay, so you have the file sized correctly, now it's time to start the real work. Click print and grab a cup of coffee.

Oct 18, 2018 We meet with different masks in our life. To this variety is an army of two airsoft mask. What is the use of an army of two airsoft mask? There are many varieties of masks. Carnival, theatrical, sports, professional, protective, military, medical, cosmetic.
I like cutting out one piece at a time so I don't get them mixed up and don't know where they come from, but you can do it however you like. REMEMBER: - line equals mountain fold. line equals valley fold When you have some pieces cut out, look at the diagram on your computer and fit the pieces together, like a puzzle, and glue them. For you glue I suggest something that dries fast, probably super glue. Then you begin the long, repetitive task of cutting, folding, and gluing for a few hours. This stage is crucial whether you want the mask to be a prop, or for paintball. In this stage we're applying fiberglass.
Fiberglass resin gives off toxic fumes, wear a respirator during this process. Okay, to begin cut your fiberglass cloth into strips until you have enough, and it'll take more if you want it to be a paintball mask. After you have the strips cut, mix up a batch of fiberglass resin. To mis fiberglass resin, take a throw away container and pour about one ounce of resin in it, and 10 drops of hardener, then mix thoroughly. Once the resin is ready, apply a thin coat to the inside of the mask by brushing it on with a cheap disposable brush, then take the fiberglass strips and lay them on top of the wet fiberglass, and then cover the strips of fiberglass with more resin.
It will look like the fiberglass in kind of melting into the resin. Continue this process until the entire inside is covered in fiberglass, and thick enough for your liking.
This is a fairly simple step, but probably the most labor intensive part of the whole project. You begin by taking about a golf ball sized amount of bondo and put a pea sized amount of cream hardener and mix it in. A special technique for mixing the bondo, the bondo, which is a gray color, and the hardener is red. To mix them don't just stir, that will cause air bubbles, you have to fold the hardener in until you get a nice uniform color, and it will turn out to be a salmon color. After you have it mixed up you need to take it and spread it on the mask.

Remember you don't have a whole lot of time to apply the bondo otherwise it will dry before you can put it all on, so try to work quickly. After about 20 minutes the bondo is dry it's time to begin my least favorite part of the entire project, sanding.
Well this part doesn't need much explaining, just sand until everything is nice and smooth. Bondo gives off toxic fumes, wear your respirator. If you don't want to make it a paintball mask you can skip this step. I was looking at my mask after I was done with sanding it and I realized it needed some more strength so I decided to add some fiberglass resin on the outside of the mask.
Just like before, mix up some resin and use a disposable brush to apply it to the outside of the mask, I used 4 coats. After all the resin is all dry there will be some runs. So dust off the old electric sander and get to work, after you're done sanding there will probably still be a few divots. To fix this issue take your bottle of spot putty and cover the entire mask in a thin layer.
After the spot putty is dry do a light sanding, spot putty sands quite easily, so this won't be too difficult. Now it's off to priming and painting! Go out and show off your awesome Army Of Two mask! Wear it for cosplay or go paintball with it, trust me, people will love it! I was extremely happy with the finished product, it turned out much better than I ever thought it would, and if you pur in the time and hard work I'm sure you'll be surprised at what you can do.

This is a nice idea for cosplay or Halloween but this is a horrible thing to actually use on the field. You are asking for a trip to the emergency room. Any field that actually allows you to use this 'mask' should be shut down because they obviously do not care about personal safety.
There is a reason actual paintball masks are made, and we don't use shop goggles or sunglasses. The lenses in paintball masks are made to withstand over 400 fps.
Also by adding more layers of fiberglass and bondo after it breaks is not proper repair of the material. All you are doing is creating another weak spot for it to break and potentially injure yourself.im sorry for this being mean but i do not want my sport to have another eye related injury because some kid thought it would be cool to make his own mask. So please, leave the paintball mask construction to the actual companies who use the right materials to make them. Just for your information, I have worn this mask multiple times, been shot in the lenses multiple times, and have been to the emergency room zero times.
I am very experienced in what I do and I do it well. This mask is not factory quality, yes, but it does withstand paintballs shot at it from 5 feet away with the velocity cranked up to 400 fps.
I am thankful for the constructive criticism, but if you really don't know what my mask is like, please do not ridicule my construction. And by the way they are not 'sunglasses' like you think, they are shatter resistant shooting glasses that I shot from point blank with my tippmann 98 and not a single defect was found in them. I would never ever want to play on a paintball field that would even think about allowing anyone to use something like this on a field. It's just asking for a trip to the hospital. If you tested your mask with tournament grade paint, it's going to break on the the mask very easily. If you tried using field grade paint that's been sitting in your gear bag from last season and then set your velocity to +300 fps you might be able to see real world results.Telling someone that they can build this with 'sunglasses' and then go use it on a paintball field is unacceptable.
Read this ( ) document and tell me that you're mask would actually pass ASTM standards.Now for Cosplay use, it's awesome and a nice piece, but it has no place on a paintball field. Be very careful. Sunglasses lenses are not strong enough to stop a paintball close range. Paintball goggles (approved ones) are made to withstand the impact of a.68 caliber paintball at close range at speeds upwards of 400 fps (feet per second).
Most paintballs are set at the 250-300 fps range, but that's still too much for something like sunglasses lenses. Even shop safety glasses are not good enough. We used to demonstrate to new players buy shooting a brand new pair of safety glasses from a few feet away. Effectively shattering them - as a way of demonstrating why it's important to wear the proper protective equipment.

This section needs expansion. You can help. ( March 2018)Alternative characters announced that purchasers who pre-order the game could play with characters based upon. The hip hop artists have collaborated on the game's theme song ', produced by and Oddfellow, and appear in game as T.W.O. Operatives Charles 'Chuy' Rendall (Big Boi) and Anthony 'Baker' Barnes (B.o.B), sent to take down the cartels in Mexico.
Reception ReceptionAggregate scoresAggregatorScore(PS3) 56.25%(X360) 54.24%(PS3) 58/100(X360) 54/100Army of Two: The Devil's Cartel received mixed to negative reviews from critics. Aggregating review websites and gave the PlayStation 3 version 56.25% and 58/100 and the Xbox 360 version 54.24% and 54/100.The game was heavily criticized for the removal of the co-op interactions, only being able to play as the Alpha character, and the game's story.Daniel Krupa of gave the game a 5 out of 10, criticizing the enemy AI as moronic, insipid environments, cover mechanics being frustrating, the gameplay being monotonous, but praised the ally AI for being reliable.
In the Verdict, Krupa said: 'Devil's Cartel feels like a hollowed-out version of the previous Army of Two games. The distinctive edges have been sanded down, creating something that's not just generic but unrelated to what went before. The humor has been drained and long-time fans might feel aggrieved by the decision to sideline Salem and Rios in favor of these lame characters. If you absolutely must experience the mediocrity first hand, Army of Two: Devil's Cartel is still probably best played with a friend. But friends don't let friends play tedious mediocre games.' Richard Grisham of found The Devil's Cartel to be fun and awarded it four in a half stars. Grisham stated at the end of his review; 'Army of Two: Devil's Cartel seems to accomplish exactly what it set out to do, offering an intense, impressive two-player co-op experience that's heavily customizable and replayable.
While it won't likely scratch the itch of those looking for a more traditional shooter game-namely, competitive online multiplayer-it's an original concept set inside familiar trappings.' On more negative side, Kevin VanOrd gave the game 5 out of 10, criticizing all of the series' best aspects being removed or toned down, the gunplay being forgettable, forgettable story and characters, the cooperation between players being very little, and problems with the AI but praised the some fun set pieces, the more open levels give you room to maneuver, and cover system encourages fluid movement. VanOrd said in the verdict; 'Previous Army of Two games stood apart in their own ways, not always excelling, but still willing to hew their own paths. Engaging the opposition in a Shanghai zoo, escaping across a collapsed skyscraper, saving civilians from menacing threats-these are small but meaningful moments that might be etched on your psyche from the series' past.
There's nothing here to make a mark: no creativity on display, no clever competitive modes, no sense of accomplishment. There's only a seven-hour campaign, optional missions in which you try to keep the overkill meter consistently replenished, and the knowledge that in a month, you won't remember having played Army of Two: The Devil's Cartel'.Dan Whitehead of scored the game with a 5 out of 10. Whitehead said at the end of his review of the game; ' The Devil's Cartel is functional and fuss-free, a game that delivers the expected genre tropes with as little imagination and as much bluster as possible. It's not a bad game, but nor does it have anything beyond basic mechanical competence to mark it out as 'good' - and even that competence wobbles more than it should.
In a few years' time, I'll probably look back over my Xbox Live profile and be surprised to see that not only did they make a third Army of Two game, but that I apparently played and completed it.' Responding to the negative response, Visceral Games executive producer Julian Beak said that ' The Devil's Cartel suffered 'low morale'. Sales Army of Two: The Devil's Cartel was released on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in North America on March 26, 2013. The game later launched in Japan and Europe on March 28, and 29, respectively. The Devil's Cartel was not successful as EA's previous month releases, due to the game being released the same month as.
The game sold over 260,000 copies worldwide. Makuch, Eddie (2012-08-02).
