Description
I had to install a fan in this costume to get me some oxygen X3 So what you're seeing here is a view from the inside of the head. The purple you see are bedsheets. So as you can see, my vision was through those pupils.
I installed a CPU fan to the inside of the head, drawing oxygen through the thin flannel fabric used to cover the inside of the mouth and blowing it straight into my face. To give you an idea of how my head fit in there... my nose was almost touching the fan ; Then, as you can see, the wire went from the fan down into the bottom jaw, where i created a hinged battery box out of plastic mesh. two 9volt batteries. basically I stripped the wire from the fan and managed to attatch a little 9volt battery cap and wire thing to the stripped wire with little clamp things covered by the green rubber you see there. I was able to turn on and off the fan by disconnecting the wires at the little white box you see in the bottomish right of the second picture.

The fan kept the head well ventilated, and it helped that I didnt sew the eyeballs entirely around the face, leaving some air at the bottom corner for the CO2 to exit. Without that ventilation hole, the eyes would have fogged up from the inside. CPU fans are easy to install, relatively cheap, and very much worth your money. They come in several sizes, usually very small, and you can buy it at any Radio Shack, Comp USA or any place like that.

Step1- Foam
Step2- Batting
Step3- Eyes
Step4- Furring the Head
Step5- Hands
Step6- Installing the Fan
