I just got this mask from an amusement park. It was over priced as usual, but it gave me the idea of making a mask out of foam. It was made of the sheet foam for kids and Valentine cards. You could buy a sheet for a couple cents.

Interesting idea. The suff might be a little fragile though and I'm not sure you can make a compound curve with the flat sheets. The picture you have was cast in a mold. Do you have any preliminary sketches of the mask you had in mind? If you want to see some interesting mask made for real armor, google images "mempo" (faceplate for Samurai armor). Depending on your tools available, there are other materials you can try like Leather, steel and plastic.
For laughs, I'd paint that shark mask all black except for the teeth and eyes, and put a black screen to cover the open mouth (to keep the wearer's face hidden).
I'd call him Darth Shark.
I actually lol'd on that one Yoshi- Taka. That was pretty funny
first thing I thought of when I saw this was the CIS commander in the Clone Wars show

people use foam ALL THE TIME for custom masks (Halo, Iron Man, etc..etc)
they also use paper too..
what you need is a pepkura file that was/is unfolded for FOAM (or paper) if that is what you want..
then usually is it lines with resin fiberglass and bondo and sanded/formed to the desired shape
www.therpf.com has MANY tutorials and threads on it..
lots of great work too!
The only thing is that I don't know how to put the screen thing in. I have the material, but not the knowledge. One day... (Or tomorrow.)
