Not a bad idea, actually. Still going to make the helmet, though now I at least have a better idea of what type of gas mask to get for the face, thanks! Any idea what they're usually sold for?

Well, the idea is to have it riveted at the top so I can still lift the visor up, not have it connected at the bottom as well; that defeats the purpose of the whole concept =P Managed to find a helm I can use as a base for $60 (CAN). Little steep in my opinion, but for something in the...
