i really love this picture, especially the small hint white light in the eye of the mask, is that a reflection of the softbox? if so its a nice touch weather deliberate or not nicely done ^.^

Thanks.
Yep its the reflection of the softbox. For some reason it adds a lot to pictures with glass in them.

haha yeah its funny that something that photographs sometimes painstakingly try to erase by using cutters etc actually looks awesome i tried the same technique with some large cyber goggles...might revisit that one again

Well reality might just be more beautiful than we think.
Large cyber goggles! That sounds good!

you should 
I've always wanted to try them in a formal scene, which would completely distort the atmosphere.

hmmm a formal scene that sounds like an awesome idea ^.^
well ive got a shoot in Feb when i go back to school from my holiday, part of the module is shooting nudes, so i might buy a gas mask and have them wear it ^.^

d300\'s definantly rock... and this pic is twice as fantastic as the camera. mind telling me how you took this?

sure, it's a fairly simple setup though.
2 50x70 softboxes, 1 left and 1 right (pretty extreme angles) and pretty close to the face so you get softer shadows and a quick falloff.
Both at the same output level. Black matte background, though you could use any background as it will get black from the light setup.
Then it's just a matter of getting close and fitting everything on the frame
Ow and some color balance in photoshop afterwards is nice as well.
