here is my finished Steampunk gas mask.

I stripped the filters off a cheap respirator. stripped off some of the plastic filter pieces. I found one of my old broken over ear gaming headsets, and stripped off the ear pieces. I took it apart and removed the red plastic highlights. I then sprayed on 3 coats of flat gray paint over the mask and ear pieces. I then did one coat of silver and a final coat of a lacquered spray paint that's supposed to simulate a hammered iron finish. I then started snapping it together, added the black front cap, and replaced the inner red vent highlights. I used the faux leather ear covers as part of the filter because I thought it would help give it that mixed old fashioned and future tech
