I detached the brass hingework for now, but took the opportunity to add the gas mask hose connectors and sub-piping. That sub-piping is actually made of very thick electrical copper wire – couldn’t tell…

So, Immortan Joe’s mask opens up for added drama and intimidation during one scene in the film. Today’s engineering challenge: Make that damn jaw open and close in a way that is durable and robust….
I decided this project was going to be something I finished for NYCC, and it is warm enough that I don’t mind dusting off my workspace again, so I’m chugging through getting the rest…

I picked up a pair of these bad boys in my size off Amazon and they got delivered. They fit pretty well! They’re not real leather, but they seem to be durable enough. I took…
