PROJECTS
MASKs saved or modified
USA M1A2-1-1
Found this in a box on my trip to the USA. It was badly rusted and rubber was pitted. treated with non petro oils to restore the rubber and sanded and repainted filter unit. the text of the filter is printed onto a thin metal plate and placed around the filter. All the valves had suffered from dry rot so the valves were removed and replaced with valves from a different mask (same model)
C2-3 canadian mask
experimenting with different removable tints that could be used on older masks by finding coloured glass discs
USA M3 diaphram mask
This started out as a damaged facepiece but after lots of work it now features clean lenses, voicemitter and valves pulled from another mask (of the same model) and a reprodution inlet tube.
Updated- this mask now has a carrier, tube(not original), straps (pulled off a mask of the same model) and the only that it is curently lacking is proper tube and filter
