How To Make a DIY Steampunk Gas Mask. Tutorial and Pattern. Halloween Costume idea

[@LostWax]

Hey everyone, just thought I would mention that I no longer use Rub N Buff as my preferred metallic paint, you can check out my current favourite paints and supplies on my Amazon page (affiliate link) www.amazon.com/shop/lostwax

[@jessemano9880]

You prepared 5 years to early

[@teddybeargirlzz4918]

😂

[@ManjesticBeard]

I'm sorry is this a DIY project or a guided meditation.

[@myosotis8856]

Its cosplay porn.

[@AngieJoy28]

yes

[@amberthut]

I don't think it's possible to express how much I absolutely love you. You rock. Totally unexpected gem of a channel to stumble upon.

[@LostWax]

+Amber Thut Aww, thanks.

[@tomboyz99]

I love the description that they actually had to put that it provides no real protection

[@tickercruse3177]

LostWax: do you live in a world full of toxic green gas? GLaDOS: _Yes that can be arranged

[@lakenash7947]

I just turned 11 and you're telling me to go get a ball from my sons toy box.

[@uberalex5437]

your 11 and have a kid... wow

[@lakenash7947]

no i said i dont have a son so where do i get a ball

[@uberalex5437]

rip one off

[@MrRandomjoey]

+Negan use a tennis ball or a bouncy ball

[@fishscalecocaine]

+Negan If you're 11 you should have a ball. You're still a child.

[@numanuma2020]

"Fancy swirly peice" XD This is why you became my favorite after one video

[@gusyoung82]

Thanks for this. This is not my first costume build but i am no expert by any means. This thing was not only easy to assemble but also is both lightweight and surprisingly durable. The strap is also VERY comfortable and fitting for my large head. Good design there. For those watching, the PDF template for this has detailed instructions for the strap. Some advice/question answers from my end: 1) Having a cylinder of some sort for warming/shaping the circles help a lot when gluing good circles. Wrap it to bend then the rings come together great. 2) I also found an X-Acto #1 blade cut this style of foam very nicely. (I believe he said he uses a surgical scalpel. Maybe add that link to your shop?) 3) Wear gloves unless you want scalded fingers while you glue.

[@LostWax]

Great comment, thanks for sharing your experience! Yep, the scalpel blade I use is a #11. I'll have to have a look at the X-acto #1 as well.

[@jamilajariwala]

I'm kind of dying bc this is the best channel in existence FR it's a blessing

[@Hellohellonada]

That was the nerdiest tutorial video I’ve ever watched, I love it

[@andreadanihel5206]

As usual, you are unbelievably creative and generally awesome. I can't wait to make this gas mask for my steampunk halloween costume. All the kids will want one!

[@Frioune]

You are a master of your craft man. Love your tutorials. I helps me a lot, with making my own cosplays. Thank you so much for your hard work.

[@tez8346]

I made a cute, pastel version of this a year ago for Halloween and rn I'm making a colourful clowncore one as well, just changed up your pattern a bit to look more fitting for those styles. I've also changed it up a bit to actually make it work as a mask to go grocery shopping and things like that in these corona times

[@KingLuke303]

I have watched this so many times to make it. LOVE IT

[@chasefamily7455]

OH MY GAWDDD!!! This is absolutely INCREDIBLE!!!! Thank you so much for making this video! My son and I are going to attempt to make it today for his Halloween costume. You make it look so easy, and the end result is amazing. Hopefully we will be able to execute it as flawlessly as you did!!!!!

[@worminmyapple]

How neat.. I'm going to attempt to do this with my 9 year old during Christmas break.. Thank You.

[@shan9usfc]

the Omnissiah calls me. Thank you for this knowledge.

[@isaacle9411]

His talking is so calming☺️

[@marisadixon339]

The intro is perfection

[@autumn_whirlisback7333]

this is going to be an amazing present for my 16 year-old cyber-goth sisters birthday 👻

[@tornado77881]

this is oddly relaxing to listen to XD

[@Chop_Suey22]

This guy is like the Bob Ross of KZbin. So soothing

[@emiledutron5517]

I love what you do, as a beginning cosplayer it is very helpfull :D

[@dortibi2010]

I love your videos! You've inspired me so much! After making the Steam Punk hat you posted, I went on and made a pair of boots and a mechanical arm using your technique!

[@MrSmigglesRD]

Amazing. This helps so much for me to start on my own gas mask for the Whalers from Dishonored. I never thought to use foam and simply paint it. Wonderful video. Thank you!

[@ecoolcutie]

I don't know why but that was so relaxing.

[@starboy3860]

"rub n' buff" Hahahaha! I don't know why that's so funny!

[@JackieHyuuga]

its been forever since I've seen your videos! I bought the mini top hat pattern and it just completed my halloween costume last year. I always watch your videos when i can even if I've seen them many times. I Just keep thinking how awesome it is that you can figure out all these patterns

[@pauldanielbailey]

The swirlie front piece is a little bit tricky much like the sun is a little bit warm! I about went insane on that! Also a tip for gluing the swirlie into piece E, I had much better luck with gel crazy glue. It took some time but worked great. My first try with hot glue made it dry wonky but the super glue allowed it to dry in a really even cylinder shape. Chris, thanks so much! I owe most of my steampunk costume to you ( and whoever invented EVA foam)!

[@LostWax]

Yep, it is tricky. A good sharp scalpel, much patience and a lot of practice are your friends on that one:) And yes, crazy glue is an excellent option! Glad I could be a part of your steampunk costume!!

[@keroberos9]

That looks amazing as hell

[@Trailer_Yeeter]

This, plus kn95 mask film in it = the best stylish protection against viruses

[@jolyne4318]

this is so cool!! you are so talented!

[@grimmthevampirecat]

Thank you for all your humorous tutorials and for all the hard work you put into creating these awesome patterns to share with us. I used your top hat pattern to make a Steampunk Poison Ivy Top Hat to use at ComicCon this year. I will be using that pattern to make many other top hats thanks to you. :-)

[@pandaphil]

I love this so much! You truly are the master of craft foam. :) I wonder if the patterns could be adapted to use styrene sheet and leather to make something more durable?

[@xavianlusious5766]

Again your work does not fail to maze me. I find your work inspiring and very helpful, and hope to see more!

[@LostWax]

Thanks for your encouraging words. I hope to see more as well:)

[@likeloislaine]

You are awesome and adorable! I love all these steampunk videos! I will definitely be procuring some of your patterns!! They are sweet! I love foam and all the ways it can be used. Cheers!!

[@memethecosplayteam1223]

Super useful!! used this for my steam punk Alice cosplay

[@EmmyJoy]

I really love your videos! They are great!

[@hayo_hru]

1) Your voice is so soothing 2) I don't have a son, I have a daughter 3) I'm 15

[@anthonylewis6317]

G'day mate. Just wanted to say thank you so much. I have just finished making the gas mask & have glued together the top hat. Loving this so much. P.S. my daughter's cat mask also came out amazing. She loves it & loves you. Thank you again.

[@LostWax]

+Anthony Lewis Glad they are working out for you! Stoked that you are having fun with foam!!

[@cvoisineaddis]

You know, usually I find that craft foam pieces don't look very clean (because of seams) but this looks very nice.

[@firstcanonkill1767]

I want mine to look new, not rustic I am going to use spray paint to get a 'new' shine amazing tutorial!

[@dolphin122074]

So cute.. I love watching his video. I'm going to down load his pattern and see if I can do it.

[@Shurbeees]

Can you make a tutorial of the corvo's mask from the game dishonored ?

[@dshuck210]

thanks for the idea I'm gonna try to make one out of fiberglass for some skulls in my dash

[@mrdscrazybikes720]

just watching a load of your videos some great work, very inspiring Thank you

[@aubreyhackett9708]

Yay! I'm totally buying the patterns!

[@Blaxmyth1953]

Yep, best to be prepared! Love it - had to have it!

[@skeletorsays]

You are a boss man, great video, and your very creative.

[@ColinCantwell]

Awesome tutorial! I'm planning on making this for my halloween costume, along with the Steampunk Top Hat. Thanks!

[@neformatika]

OMG, ahahah, I love this guy))) He is very artistic! And the mask is super! I've always loved the theme of the world after the apocalypse

[@Redderick85]

well....looks like I know what I'm going to be making this week haha

[@iislevinii1923]

you are the best. you really make me smile

[@0Kimchi0]

So dope. I love it. Thank you very much for your time and dedication for such a wonderful design and tutorial.

[@LostWax]

You are welcome. Thanks for watching.

[@trivulation5922]

I LOVE that awesome ring

[@nyarashad2970]

This was super cool! I love your tutorials!

[@LiliaArmoury]

maybe add black fabric in to simulate the filters

[@ladyren3836]

I love your steampunk creations! You're so intelligent and funny. Please do more videos like like :D

[@fernandamarques5555]

Your videos are really awesome!! You should make more of them

[@jazzgenie]

Awesome, I bought your pattern and made the goggles, sent you a message with photo on fb. Look forward to making this too!

[@amiyuki7021]

Can you take a picture/video wearing all of your DIY steampunk props?

[@EpbotVideo]

For some reason this latest vid requires me to turn KZbin's "Safety Mode" off to watch it - otherwise I get an error in both Firefox & Chrome. Is that intentional? If not, just thought you should know, since it's probably costing you views!

[@LostWax]

Jen Yates Oooh, thanks for the heads up, I will have to look into that. Not sure why it would be…...

[@barackclinton568]

I just bought this pattern and am happy with it but I have a caution for everyone doing these. I was at a michaels that had these foam sheets in colors and I got black to make painting easier and prevent the undercolor shopwing it rhe paint flaked. Then I saw I needed a good white ink pen to mark it for cutting.Oops. If you get the coam sheets in black get a white marker pen.

[@LostWax]

Good point. I should also point out that you will have a hard time getting the metallic wax paste looking good if you don't give a couple coats of acrylic paint first.

[@barackclinton568]

+Lost Wax can you srapyapint this stuff or does it melt?

[@LostWax]

To be honest, I have never tried, mostly because the painting technique I use is important to get the metallic wax paste to look right on it. I don't think it will melt it like it does to polystyrene foam, but I am not sure you will get the best results. If you first gave it all a coat of mod podge or white glue, that might work better…..

[@barackclinton568]

what us mod lodge? Please remember I'm American and don't get a lot of Britt slang despite watching a lot of Britt tv like Dt. Who.

[@grim_al_kin]

...Mod Podge.. have you never been to the craft section of any local mega-mart? or ANY craft store?? The stuff is everywhere. (I see you've said you've been to Michael's, try looking there again. it's with glues and probably foam section.. as well as endcaps... and check-out... and floral... and paints .. etc. etc. etc... )

[@christinnakrogandersen350]

It's amazing! :) You're really talented!

[@CarterRoyal]

whoa, thank you man!!! Can you make a tutorial about "How To Make a (Steampunk) Plague Doctor mask"?

[@juch.1312]

Now, THAT would be cool

[@hotsstuff3673]

[@elizabethdidi1441]

[@brittanyatkins6396]

This is so awesome! Thank you for such a great tutorial!

[@jean-lucchessher7065]

you could use a work resparater as a base

[@gono7209]

Just found your channel and I love it.

[@MrBigCookieCrumble]

Totally buying this!

[@same1402]

Such a cool Idea! I love this thing!!!

[@Night333Walker]

Fantastic tutorial! Thank you!!

[@silverbeetlestv767]

You should try some fallout props, I feel like that would totally be your style

[@wafflelife6028]

I would make all of this steam punk stuff but I can’t find EVA foam anywhere

[@woah4955]

Waffle Life ikr!

[@natgames6206]

[@i.n.1524]

oh my god! that is so cool! im gonna try this, that would be such an awesome room decoration as well

[@quirkedupwhiteboy8641]

I'm not sure if you take requests, but I was wondering if you could do a tutorial on steam punk arm cuffs. That would be amazing if you could but it's only a suggestion :)

[@genmasaotome3503]

I'm thinking about decorating my PC... then I thought about going with Steam Punk. Would be cool if you show your take on modifying a PC/case steam punk style. :)

[@LostWax]

Hmm, cool idea, I'll have a think about it...

[@TheMmeJaune]

I just finish to do mine :p your video really helped me, thanks!

[@starhill6792]

Teehee. Halloween take this.

[@antoinecharbit7757]

Can you make tutorial " how to paint with metal effect " please ?

[@eunaoseimais2935]

Could you please make a video of how to make Zacharie's masks?

[@manson7873]

Hi, thanks for the video. Could you please tell me what the material do you use?

[@vampireknightloverrr]

awesome im going to try and do that someday

[@Kuba1974]

I bought your pattern and have some questions. Why do we cut piece N out of the plastic and piece Q? You don''t say what to do with them.

[@LostWax]

Hi there, the piece q's go around the filter tube thingy, you can see it at 3:40 on this video. Piece N is for the strap, and you can see how that is made on my goggles video at 3:20 kzbin.info/www/bejne/anibp3edp5uWb6M Hope that helps!!

[@AnilVerma-zr8bu]

It's good but you need to give some templates of the mask that you made

[@virginijasileikiene1989]

Nice, i loved it.

[@samfoong3558]

What paint did you use for the base layer? The mask looks great!

[@clawsproductions582]

That intro hits different in 2020

[@LostWax]

Sadly it does....

[@polis-ci5ht]

I try it,the gas mask is best

[@Boewolf]

What kind of foam you use in the project "TOP HAT" and "GAS MASK?"

[@FISKOTHEGOAT]

but one question: can u make this out of cardboard

[@LostWax]

Maybe...kind of...but it wouldn't be very comfortable I would think.

[@kayn3126]

thank you so much!!! That's perfect!

[@LostWax]

You're welcome!!

[@theFlamingPandaBear]

i feel like you are the steampunk bob ross in this video
