The cosplay I am making is of the Yakuza gang members from the live action Ghost in the Shell movie that was released in 2017. I plan on doing the full body costume with a whole black outfit with custom patches and weapons too, however, I think what sells the Yakuza look and ties in the costume to the Ghost in the Shell universe is the futuristic drug devices that the Yakuza can be seen using. I am having a little trouble trying to figure out how to make them. I need the masks to be somewhat durable so I can take them to multiple cons and then continue to display them afterward but I also need something that isn't too heavy or expensive so I can make enough for the people I am going with. I also am unsure what I should make the metal cans and their labels out of. I am afraid to use metal cans that had previously had flammable gas because I want there to be no danger when putting it near your mouth. I would really like it if the tanks were interchangeable but if they are not it isn't a big deal. I really just need help finding a cheaper but durable material that I can make these masks out of. I am really open to any help and suggestions and look forward to seeing the creative things you come up with. I hope the pictures are helpful and are able to explain what I am generally trying to recreate, they don't have to be perfect replicas but I hope to do them as close as I can get. Thanks!
