Syn's New Mask! (also, his new clothes!)
So, I got bored (as usual) and decided to sculpt Syn a gas mask, sincethere is a real dearth of that sort of thing for our resin peepz. The very first attempt didn't turn out so well (issue with sizing and the filter parts not staying attached, so I took my base mask part, stripped everything else off and started over, choosing to try a different style of gas mask. The result was surprisingly good, I think, especially for a first try. I am still having a bit of an issue with sizing, but I thik that a slightly oversized look actually works for a gas mask.
As with the cyber mask, this is made of paperclay. The filter part is supported internally by two nails from inside the body of the mask out (they're covered by paperclay on the inside) and has a metal grate made of a one dollar straier I got from the grocery store. As before, the straps are black elastic. Oh, and the lenses are pieces of a disposable plastic cup and are hot glued to the inside of the mask.
All in all, this took me a few hours from beginning to end, spread over a couple of days. The base was made on Saturday and finished today (with a good bit of sanding and reshaping inbetween the beginning and the end) and cost me mayyybe ten bucks total. Not bad if I do say so myself.
(Oh, and amubleu, this is what I was thinking of asting. I may make another one and try it, as I don't want to ruin this one. I jsut have to figure out how I'd make the mold. Box mold, maybe?)

And this one also shows his awesome new Dollmore clothes, which are...a bit more girly than I expected, actually. But Syn dares you to say that to his face. (Please don't. I have to live with him. >.<) XD
