Hey,i have been reading on this forum(especially the cosplay) for around a week now, and i must say: every single induvidual here is an awesome person! I hope that my militairy clothes will form a decent Metro-styled stalker soon!
Blin! :yo: How ya doing, noob?! Thanks for the compliment. It is great to have you here and I'll be looking forward to seeing your cosplay.
Welcome in the tunnels ! Yes cant wait to see your cosplay , ive been trying to get mine sorted out. Cant wait to see !
Ah, thats nice of you to say, dont expect to much though, i dont have THAT much and i have never done one before. Also, good luck with yours! Im sure something cool will rise from it!
Thanks ! Good luck with yours still think it will be cool. Mostly trying to go for a ranger look but we will see how it goes, there will be many pics to share.
Lets hope so, i had to choose stalker style due to my shortage of supplies, but i have faith. P.S: what suits a stalker better; an Czech CM4 or a Russian GP5?
Welcome to our great forums, and thanks for the compliment I would go for the CM4 gas mask, it's way more metro-y than the GP5
Thank you! Can you tell me excactly why the CM4 is more metro-y? ( just wondering) Verstuurd vanaf mijn SM-G361F met Tapatalk
In my opinion, I'd say because the CM4 is more of a military issued gas mask than the GP5. The GP5 is more of a civilian-type gas mask. It would also make you look like a Snork from Stalker You should try cosplaying in both masks.
I see, thanks for your info, a snork is a bit hard to cosplay for me imo, although it looks fun. I will try finding a suiting helmet or headwear for the cm4, tips are always welcome! Verstuurd vanaf mijn SM-G361F met Tapatalk
Always happy to see a new face in the tunnels, I hope you'll enjoy your stay. I also prefer the CM4. Although both of these gas masks were designed for civilian use, I agree with Nuclear that for some reason the CM4 looks a bit more military. Either way, civilian gas masks are fine for a stalker cosplay seeing as how most stalkers are scavengers, especially in Metro 2033, relying on whatever they can find and not always having access to military gear.
Great opinions, guys! Huh... that's actually a very good question. I don't think I even knew why when I wrote it, but I associate the CM4 more with metro than the GP5, and I have now realized why: What I meant by Metro-y is that it has kind of the same shape as the russian PMK gasmask: CM4: Spoiler PMK: Spoiler I've never really liked the appearance of the GP5. Firstly, the original white color is unusual and doesn't really fit with being a gasmask, and secondly it has that strange horror-movie-like appearance with that leathery appearance and the small round eyes and the Snork-like "nose".
You have a very good point there, im probably going to stick with the CM4 as i made mine look "worn". still, i am using the gp5 bag though, its a neat little thing. Verstuurd vanaf mijn SM-G361F met Tapatalk
I see your point, too bad the cm4 has the filter underneath it. Also, ive made a VERY, VERY quick picture here, its not good at all, and i had to take one glove off in order to take the picture. I was wearing my non-finished(far from it) stalker outfit here(the GP5 will change to a CM4) Sorry for the horrible quality, i dont have much time, but i promise i will make better ones soon!

If the CM4 is the same filter thredding as the GP5 or the PMK then get a russian hose and it would fit , i have a hose on my PMK. That would make it look more STALKER or metro-y.
Also you could even use a M10M mask , it is a bright rubber on it but if you use acrilic paint on it (that can come off) and give it a warn/ beat up look that would work. Bad side to that is its cheek filters and not an exturnal filter , that i think would be more for a metro cosplay then a STALKER though.
For some reason i dont really like the M10M, i mean, for a Ranger or something it would be cool due to its military look, but imo it just doesnt look like something straight outta metro. I like your idea of making it look worn, it gives that extra feeling to it, like you've been wearing it for years. I did the same on my CM4, i just took some sanding paper and started sanding around the edges. Verstuurd vanaf mijn SM-G361F met Tapatalk
