Old worn-out tubes and masks, please

Post by pootsie » Wed Jun 12, 2013 9:50 pm

My son has decided to get into creating some steampunk gear, and could use whatever bits and pieces he can find.

I was thinking used (useless) cpap masks and tubes might be great. I will be happy to pay for shipping on some stuff we can use if there is enough to justify it.

thanks!

That is interesting.

Anyone else?

That is why I keep mine too. One of these days I will be able to go to Scifi conventions again and I want to be able to add to my steam punk outfit. My Quatro especially could be metallized with great effect.

Exactly my thought. We had a design session and we are thinking a Vader-type face with a Samurai-like helmet, metalicized and geared and tubed, etc. Could be fun.

Thats an awesome idea! I've been saving my old hoses just in case the hose on our Dyson breaks I like your idea better! Now I just have to figure out what Steam Punk is...
