Let's play a game

[sabotabby]

Here's how it works, theoretically. One person says something awesome, and then the next person adds something to it to make it more awesome, repeat ad nauseum. Then I make a cartoon of it in my copious free time.

I'll get you started (based on the results of a Stitch n' Bitch conversation):

Fighting zombies ____________

Fighting zombies from a zeppelin _______________

Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to fill in the blank with something that makes fighting zombies from a zeppelin even more awesome.

...Go!

P.S. You're supposed to respond to each other, not just to me.

This mask looks like a promising candidate for modification. Perhaps for a more nautical, Jules Verne theme. Maybe paste a few sea shells on there and go for an oxidized brass and copper paint job.

Cool idea - good for a "sailor from Nemo's Nautilus" type thing

A lot of the masks look a little too "Halo" owing to the wide lenses / face shields. Thus far, I have only thought of two work arounds: One, insert an amber tinted one and wear your patented goggles underneath. Or two, replace the clear lens / face shield with an opaque brass painted surface with eye holes cut out. The holes could be circular for WWI style gas mask lenses or half circles like on the Rocketeer helmet. They look like inverted sunglass lenses.

The paint ball mask I posted in the comment above retails in some places for $150, but I have seen it for forty. I only cited it as an example. You can find used styles for 20 bucks or less on ebay. Since it is just the foundation for homemade doohickeys, it probably wont matter what style you start with.

Alternate lens concepts:

1) Go for a spider face effect with multiple eyes* / "sensors."

2) Use a screen door screen for the lens.

* This, of course, makes me think of the "big daddies" in BioShock and thus old skool spherical brass diving helmets, but that may be a tad ambitious since it would likely require building an entire suit.

Still more brainstorming: Place little battery operated lights or glow sticks inside the paint ball mask - but around the chin so as to not impair vision.
