Description
So I have finally found a mask that I think looks really close to what Pyro wears. Might just splurge and get the sun shade/anti glare lens attachment. These are not too easy to find in large size.(Oh ya, the mask is an Avon FM12. But the previous version of this mask is the S10. S10 is easier and cheaper to find; but the filter can only be mounted on one side. FM12 is able to switch sides and has built in straw for drinking. Both types have an accessory that can be bought to add darkened lenses. Both can be found on eBay. These masks can also be found by looking up British army gas mask.)
Also, when shopping for size of these masks remember:
1 - Large
2 - Medium
3 - Small
update ~ found someone that sold the anti glare lenses for a bit cheaper and jumped at the opportunity... so yay! Dark lenses are on their way.
Newest update ~ Mask on the left is what I originally started with. On the right is with the new lenses and a training filter. Might cut open the filter and modify it so that it has a fan... and possibly make it bigger. The threading on the filter fits perfectly, so that is nice. The lenses just pop right on the outside front of the mask. I am thinking I may still add one way window tint to the inside of them just to up the reflectiveness.

Thanks!
I know I'm taking some liberties with the character's mask, but for what I'm looking for it fits. I'm kinda trying out the idea of making the character's style lean more to realistic, but not lose the essential feel and sense.
This mask in combination with a ski mask (or something like it, looking at options) would achieve the full head coverage.
There is temptation to use a straight razor and remove the line down the center. I only worry that if I mess up it may ruin more than I would wish to attempt to fix. So for now, line down center.

Oh i know hoe that goes, the second mask i made involved entirely destroying my old mask in the process. That was scary, but it looks better now

Its always that point of a project where one has to decide to continue or stop that tends to be the most challenging, and yet tempting.
