How To Make a DIY Steampunk Gas Mask. Tutorial and Pattern. Halloween Costume idea 

Hey everyone, just thought I would mention that I no longer use Rub N Buff as my preferred metallic paint, you can check out my current favourite paints and supplies on my Amazon page (affiliate link) www.amazon.com/shop/lostwax

You prepared 5 years to early

I don't think it's possible to express how much I absolutely love you. You rock. Totally unexpected gem of a channel to stumble upon.

LostWax: do you live in a world full of toxic green gas? GLaDOS: _Yes that can be arranged

Thanks for this. This is not my first costume build but i am no expert by any means. This thing was not only easy to assemble but also is both lightweight and surprisingly durable. The strap is also VERY comfortable and fitting for my large head. Good design there. For those watching, the PDF template for this has detailed instructions for the strap. Some advice/question answers from my end: 1) Having a cylinder of some sort for warming/shaping the circles help a lot when gluing good circles. Wrap it to bend then the rings come together great. 2) I also found an X-Acto #1 blade cut this style of foam very nicely. (I believe he said he uses a surgical scalpel. Maybe add that link to your shop?) 3) Wear gloves unless you want scalded fingers while you glue.

I just turned 11 and you're telling me to go get a ball from my sons toy box.

"Fancy swirly peice" XD This is why you became my favorite after one video

I'm sorry is this a DIY project or a guided meditation.

I made a cute, pastel version of this a year ago for Halloween and rn I'm making a colourful clowncore one as well, just changed up your pattern a bit to look more fitting for those styles. I've also changed it up a bit to actually make it work as a mask to go grocery shopping and things like that in these corona times

I love the description that they actually had to put that it provides no real protection

this is oddly relaxing to listen to XD

this is going to be an amazing present for my 16 year-old cyber-goth sisters birthday 👻

The swirlie front piece is a little bit tricky much like the sun is a little bit warm! I about went insane on that! Also a tip for gluing the swirlie into piece E, I had much better luck with gel crazy glue. It took some time but worked great. My first try with hot glue made it dry wonky but the super glue allowed it to dry in a really even cylinder shape. Chris, thanks so much! I owe most of my steampunk costume to you ( and whoever invented EVA foam)!

I don't know why but that was so relaxing.

As usual, you are unbelievably creative and generally awesome. I can't wait to make this gas mask for my steampunk halloween costume. All the kids will want one!

How neat.. I'm going to attempt to do this with my 9 year old during Christmas break.. Thank You.

This, plus kn95 mask film in it = the best stylish protection against viruses

Thank you for all your humorous tutorials and for all the hard work you put into creating these awesome patterns to share with us. I used your top hat pattern to make a Steampunk Poison Ivy Top Hat to use at ComicCon this year. I will be using that pattern to make many other top hats thanks to you. :-)

You know, usually I find that craft foam pieces don't look very clean (because of seams) but this looks very nice.

I want mine to look new, not rustic I am going to use spray paint to get a 'new' shine amazing tutorial!

the Omnissiah calls me. Thank you for this knowledge.

I love what you do, as a beginning cosplayer it is very helpfull :D

His talking is so calming☺️

I'm kind of dying bc this is the best channel in existence FR it's a blessing

I love this so much! You truly are the master of craft foam. :) I wonder if the patterns could be adapted to use styrene sheet and leather to make something more durable?

Super useful!! used this for my steam punk Alice cosplay

G'day mate. Just wanted to say thank you so much. I have just finished making the gas mask & have glued together the top hat. Loving this so much. P.S. my daughter's cat mask also came out amazing. She loves it & loves you. Thank you again.

I have watched this so many times to make it. LOVE IT

That was the nerdiest tutorial video I’ve ever watched, I love it

I love your videos! You've inspired me so much! After making the Steam Punk hat you posted, I went on and made a pair of boots and a mechanical arm using your technique!

You are a master of your craft man. Love your tutorials. I helps me a lot, with making my own cosplays. Thank you so much for your hard work.

its been forever since I've seen your videos! I bought the mini top hat pattern and it just completed my halloween costume last year. I always watch your videos when i can even if I've seen them many times. I Just keep thinking how awesome it is that you can figure out all these patterns

OH MY GAWDDD!!! This is absolutely INCREDIBLE!!!! Thank you so much for making this video! My son and I are going to attempt to make it today for his Halloween costume. You make it look so easy, and the end result is amazing. Hopefully we will be able to execute it as flawlessly as you did!!!!!

"rub n' buff" Hahahaha! I don't know why that's so funny!

The intro is perfection

Amazing. This helps so much for me to start on my own gas mask for the Whalers from Dishonored. I never thought to use foam and simply paint it. Wonderful video. Thank you!

thanks for the idea I'm gonna try to make one out of fiberglass for some skulls in my dash

This guy is like the Bob Ross of RU-vid. So soothing

well....looks like I know what I'm going to be making this week haha

1) Your voice is so soothing 2) I don't have a son, I have a daughter 3) I'm 15

Not only are you talented, you are hilarious as well. Bravo!

you are the best. you really make me smile

So cute.. I love watching his video. I'm going to down load his pattern and see if I can do it.

this is so cool!! you are so talented!

That looks amazing as hell

you could use a work resparater as a base

Awesome tutorial! I'm planning on making this for my halloween costume, along with the Steampunk Top Hat. Thanks!

I LOVE that awesome ring

Totally buying this!

I try it,the gas mask is best

Again your work does not fail to maze me. I find your work inspiring and very helpful, and hope to see more!

whoa, thank you man!!! Can you make a tutorial about "How To Make a (Steampunk) Plague Doctor mask"?

Awesome, I bought your pattern and made the goggles, sent you a message with photo on fb. Look forward to making this too!

You are awesome and adorable! I love all these steampunk videos! I will definitely be procuring some of your patterns!! They are sweet! I love foam and all the ways it can be used. Cheers!!

Can you make a tutorial of the corvo's mask from the game dishonored ?

Your videos are really awesome!! You should make more of them

Yep, best to be prepared! Love it - had to have it!

just watching a load of your videos some great work, very inspiring Thank you

maybe add black fabric in to simulate the filters

awesome im going to try and do that someday

I really love your videos! They are great!

I'm so making this.

I'm not sure if you take requests, but I was wondering if you could do a tutorial on steam punk arm cuffs. That would be amazing if you could but it's only a suggestion :)

I'm thinking about decorating my PC... then I thought about going with Steam Punk. Would be cool if you show your take on modifying a PC/case steam punk style. :)

Can you take a picture/video wearing all of your DIY steampunk props?

OMG, ahahah, I love this guy))) He is very artistic! And the mask is super! I've always loved the theme of the world after the apocalypse

Teehee. Halloween take this.

Done!!!! I’ll email a photo of mine!

I love your steampunk creations! You're so intelligent and funny. Please do more videos like like :D

I just finish to do mine :p your video really helped me, thanks!

For some reason this latest vid requires me to turn RU-vid's "Safety Mode" off to watch it - otherwise I get an error in both Firefox & Chrome. Is that intentional? If not, just thought you should know, since it's probably costing you views!

Just found your channel and I love it.

So dope. I love it. Thank you very much for your time and dedication for such a wonderful design and tutorial.

thank you so much!!! That's perfect!

Yay! I'm totally buying the patterns!

You are a boss man, great video, and your very creative.

Oh mi gosh xD all this time ive been looking for videos that madre steampunk stuff and i finally found then :D i ever knew the creator of the mini Top hats and i also have a google image i downloaded because i like it verrrrrrrry much I never thought they were made of foam :O thanks for the tutorials and for sharing your fun personality and great ideas :)

Nice Idea

surprised this guy still favorites comments. its heard is i say Lost Wax 3 times he’ll favorite my comment Lost Wax Lost Wax Lost Wax now we wait

I would make all of this steam punk stuff but I can’t find EVA foam anywhere

Fantastic

*Yo. I got a respirator mask and I've been thinking about using it as a gas mask for steampunk but there aren't any videos on my it. Try it?*

Very coooool ! 0:23 Dr. Who ?

This is so awesome! Thank you for such a great tutorial!

Fantastic tutorial! Thank you!!

oh my god! that is so cool! im gonna try this, that would be such an awesome room decoration as well

or you could use brads or googly eyes for rivets instead

You should try some fallout props, I feel like that would totally be your style

I just bought this pattern and am happy with it but I have a caution for everyone doing these. I was at a michaels that had these foam sheets in colors and I got black to make painting easier and prevent the undercolor shopwing it rhe paint flaked. Then I saw I needed a good white ink pen to mark it for cutting.Oops. If you get the coam sheets in black get a white marker pen.

This was super cool! I love your tutorials!

amazing

Can u do like superhero masks. My brother like helo the game he always asking me to make stuff from it. I love ur steampunk stuff. Keep on making videos. I well keep on watching them
