Uh, hey. Yes I am
back. I am not dead. I am still making cool stuff, but I was going
to try something new. I was going to try
it in video. Yeah, cool idea huh? Not if your camera has no batteries, and your
Windows Movie Maker suddenly disappeared.
So I have no way to record video, and now way to edit/put it
together. I could just record it in one fell
swoop but since most props take about a couple of months to create, it would be
near impossible. This is a rip off to
because I have recently made a lot of really cool, better stuff (better than
shoving water bottles on your arms…). A
Boba Fett helmet and costume, a Hans Solo costume, three different types of Light
Sabers, a hook hand, a Tusken Raider costume (not really, but I have a plan), a
Jedi costume, a Jawa costume a fake ammo belt, Thors hammer, a gas mask, some
sort of claws, a hidden blade, and a hat.
Pretty cool stuff if you exclude the hat. I have no pictures, videos, or anything. I should get some videos, but how can I edit
them together? So from this day forward I
am definitely going to take a bunch of pictures. Here is one I took right now. There aren’t all the props I made in the
picture because I didn’t want to invest an hour looking for everything and then
having my camera take a bad picture.
This picture consists of me wearing gas mask and the hat,
along with the claws and hook hand. On your
left is an unfinished Boba Fett helmet supporting a light saber. Next to that is the armor. Then the Thor hammer supporting two light
sabers and an ammo belt. So I am going
to show you how I build everything in this picture and some other stuff. Keep in mind a lot of this is still
unfinished but hey, I know what the next thing I am going to do is. This tutorial will show you how I made the gas
mask. Let’s get this started.
I used a black under shirt like this one for the hood.
I put it on upside down and then marked where my eyes
go. Be careful doing this as one of the
eye holes on mine is too big and lopsided.
You can choose to wear black sunglasses under this for a cool look. If you had flight goggles you could paint
them black. That would be a great
look. Sort of like Hydra from Captain
America. Or that. That is awesome.
I had a under shirt,
but would recommend using a black ski mask.
If you use an undershirt you need some sort of hat. I use a black baseball helmet.
On to the filters A.K.A the things on the outside. I wanted one with two of the things but it
would be easy to mod this into a mask with one big thing on the front. Like this.
For my filters I used cat food cans covered in tape, and
attached with tape. I would definitely recommend
attaching them with hot glue. Make sure
to WASH the cans. Gas masks should not
overpower you with the scent of fish, and chicken. Position them on either side of your mouth.
That’s it. Thanks for
reading.

P.S. I am actually
going to post how I made the rest of this stuff! Trust me.
