Mesh Hybrid Mask

[Jibbity]

I like to keep my face pretty for my lady friend, yet also actually prefer to use the sights on my gun. I've tried several masks, but none of them really did the trick for me so I have started to make my own masks using mesh at the mouth and nose and other matierials for the cheeks. This is my most recent:

 

Boneyard mesh mask and the lower from a CM clone of the Marui fan mask.

 

ESS LandOps with the vent foam removed for better circulation.

 

The CM lower conveniently plugs right into the holes on the goggles.

 

I used a heat gun to remove the elastic around the edges of the mask, but kept it for reinstallation. An abrasive cutting wheel is the best I've found for cutting the mesh without mangling it.

 

Checking the fit.

 

Don't forget to paint your cut edges or you will get some major rusting with use.

 

Reattached the elastic border by reheating the existing glue. Cut out the excess plastic under the mesh.

 

Stitched the mesh to the lower with a needle and thread. Paint.

 

Easy to breathe, so no hot air directed into my goggles and great cheekweld.

Looks good.
