Things are moving slowly forwards... Maybe I can complete at least the whole base before Christmass?

Thanks!
Vintage computing is my middle-name ;) That box just above the C64, btw, is a SD-card tape emulator. Makes it way easier to play different games. Here in Europe almost everything of games was released on tape, but I do got the 1541 disk drive as well.
As for the mask, the next step will be eyes and inside lining; The foam itself directly on skin is a bit "clingy". Could of course just always use a loose balaclava, but it looks way more proffesional if properly lined.
The movable jaw is a bit interesting in this one. First of all I make the mask on a ducktape dummy of my real head, so the dimensions and fit is pretty spot on for me. Second, my real head is quite big so I decided to make the mask as close to the face as I could get away with. Lynxes have very flat faces and small snouts compared to other big felines, but still the cheek fluff make their head feel way bigger than what they actually are (the majority of lynx fursuits fail to replicate this feel!). All in all the decission was made to get eyes and such to align, and to have the size of the face be small enough so adequate amount of cheek-fluff could be added without making the mask look enormous ^^
Back to moving jaw: The entire jaw is more or less just a big piece of foam, with a very good fit with my actual jaw. This way the mask jaw will follow any movments made by my real jaw! The stretch in the foam ensures it returns back to the original position.
