is this really a mask to wear? looks a bit too heavy to have it on the face.
But the mask I want to make would be wooden.
Not sure if TF2 is the most realistic with cosmetics. But you are right, they didn't wear those masks
@BenCo is goind to make it wooden so it won't be that heavy. If it's some lightweight wood I see no problem with the mask's weight to wear. And TF2 is not realistic in anything it could be unrealistic at, and that's one of reasons we love it, isn't it?

I started modelling my first ever "hat" which is in this case a mask for spy, I still need to work a lot on it:
Inspiration:
BenCo, if you want to get fancy, you could make a Mayan-themed mask for all nine classes in addition to the normal one, and if it were accepted, Valve could make your various masks replace the normal white class masks that Spy wears when disguised as them. Heck, you could even go the extra mile and add a Mayan-themed model for the Disguise Kit and advertise it on the Workshop as a Disguise Kit "reskin"! It would make your submission really stand out from other Mayan-themed cosmetics, since cosmetics aren't normally visible to teammates when disguised, and so it would let Spies customize their look for when they're disguised as well as replacing the usual cigarette box from the first-person view.
The paper mask is part of the spy model. It's a bodygroup, just like how the gunslinger is a bodygroup. In order to add a reskin version, there would need be another bodygroup added to the base model. Last time valve did something with bodygroups, shit went really bad[citation needed], so I'm not expecting them to do stuff like that.
If people are looking for inspiration, theres a great movie called Apocalyto which is set in the Mayan kingdom. Not sure how historically correct it is, but should be a great way to get in the mood.
I've got a few ideas for a 5cp but not sure if I have the time to make them happen yet.

Don't worry, a due date hasn't even been established and the content pack still isn't out. You have plenty of time to establish an idea and go with it later!
Yeah, there's no due date yet. Even if Valve decide not to pick this theme up as a future update theme, it'd still be totally awesome to have some sweet Mayan jungle themed maps. So go crazy!
(as for content not being out yet, I still recommend getting creative with dev textures for now)

We have two main brick textures for the pack currently (both with clean and mossy top/bottom variants) The larger of the two matches the same brick size as the Egypt bricks (though it's a different pattern) and the smaller one is half that size. Or in units: 32 tall and 16 tall.
That looks really cool but remember Egypt is nowhere near Mayan and Aztec lands and the architecture is different.Who needs dev textures when you have EGYPT!

That is super awesome and exactly what I am looking for! seriously can't wait.
ye ye, ik. But they are pretty good placeholders for the kinds of bricks I am using
I want to reiterate to people who are fretting over not having much time to make maps for this:
Any further questions, just ask!
- We'll release the content as soon as it's actually made and we're sure it's not going to change, we're not holding back, a lot of it doesn't exist yet and we don't want to give out assets that we might later change
- This isn't definitely going to be an official update, we really hope it will be but until Valve say so it's just community stuff
- There's no deadline until Valve choose one
- If and when Valve choose a deadline, they're likely to choose one that's at least a month or two away from the start date (they want a level playing field so they ought to give enough time to make a map in)
Any further questions, just ask!
