GDS I NEED YOUR HELP

I usually prep for Halloween much sooner than this, but whatev. I know a good few of y'all are cosplayers and I wanted some advice for how to replicate the rebreather filters on Jon's mask seen below

I've got the mask itself already, it's just a matter of a minor alteration here and there and HOW DO I MAKE THOSE THINGS JESUS

Oooohh, a hardware store is a good idea, thank you.

Five different ways? Damn I'm jealous

weeeeeeelll that may be exaggerating, but generally I tell people that when it comes to props and accessories, there's never just one way to do it and there's often many ways. And the "best" way is wholly dependent on your budget, materials, and skills. Some people can afford to make molds and resin-cast everything, I can't.

But a lot of good ideas are floating around here - shower heads, soda cans, cans within cans, I like all of them. It's probably going to come down to just looking at things and comparing the sizes to your face to see which one is the right size and will do the job the best.
