I am absolutely loving the hooded/double-hose combo!

Same here ;) Most definitely makes for quite a sci-fi look :)

Actually, the hoses will be connected to a latex back pack / smell bag

It looks fantastic. Thanks Stago. I look forward to receiving it in the mail.

Was quite fun doing it, and with yours here I did a new way of setting up the hood for a better fit: PLEASE let me know as soon as you get it how it fits you!!

your work continues to amaze me stego. let me know when your comitions are open again.

Soonish: Working on a small avalanche of orders, will etcha know!

thank you

awesome. now it looks like some 'real' feline has the connection held fast between his/her jaws, and someone poured a lot of liquid latex over it...
great effect! ^^

I wonder if one actually could go diving with one, but I guess if so, not very deep... but, still. :)

Have Really been wanting to take my one spare cat, attach a bunch of hoses to it, and take it underwater: Am told that Chlorine will do something interesting to the latex (Turn it into Neoprene?) so am gonna experiment with a scrap of latex in a pool first and see what happens...

There IS a critter who has already done a Diving-Jackal with theirs, am curious as to how theres is doing so far: http://rocketpup.livejournal.com/4904.html

I've been wondering how water tight the mask would be myself and actually asked the "Diving-Jackel" about that.

aha! awesome he actually did it, and since he didn't drown I guess it's safe 'til 50ft. :)

also, another nice picture for my slowly growing collection of reference photos... XD

He combined it with scuba gear, yes: Weather he actually Dived with it I actually dont know: Of course its a risk that if he did it would be Cool, but sadly I couldnt endorse its use that way.

I guess he would need a special breath exhaust valve. a typical gasmask valve would leak a lot of water inside... maybe the main question would be how to seal the mask itself against the water. one of your hooded ones might make it easier; put on a neoprene hood or something over the head itself to seal off the zipper.
I take it you're referring to the mask's eyes? ^^

The Lenses in the Jackals arent "secured" in place like the Horse-masks lenses are: Adding some Goop around the edges would certainly create a watertight seal tho! The Zipper isnt too much of a big thing to worry about water entry as positive pressure along the sides of the hood would keep it out...

Im really curious :) Really I am: Sadly I havent seen anything else from Rocketpup since last he posted. Ahwell, I can keep dreaming about it :)

Then again with the JG-3 it may bbe even More possible now that I know what needs to be done to get a clamp around the lenses!

ahh, plans... ^^

it's a shame the green dosent stand out so wekk in the photo though but i guess URL it should be better

They are most definitely a Really nice green :) No photo will do these justice sadly!
