After the Daleks and K9, the Weeping Angels are the next Doctor Who character to be recreated by the maker community, this time in the form of a mask.

Benjamin Krygsheld is to thank for this unsettling display, a project which, he tells us, started after receiving a broken party mask version from eBay.

Instead of struggling with the return process Krygsheld decided to remake it. This started by using the Xbox Kinect to scan the mask with the Skanect software.

This created a rough mesh that was then cleaned up in Blender over the course of eight hours, before being sliced in two with Meshmixer to make it small enough to print.

Printing took 32 hours, after which the two pieces were joined together with glue and the seem between them was filled in with Bondo. You can see the white print in the gallery below with the putty giving the Weeping Angel something of a broken nose look.

The print was then put into a vacuform and used as a mould to make the final version out of a sheet of plastic. This version was primed with black before being dry brushed with layers of grey and brown to get finished the look.

To make you own head over to Thingiverse to get the free files. The current model is 266 X 182 millimetres, so you will have to scale it to fit your face. It looks like some black mesh was also added around the eyes to make it more convincing.
