you can see out of the nostrils, you coul also fit a mini lcd screen inside connected to a camera hidden in the suit. the mask is relatively comfortable for the person it is designed for, and fits perfectly. keep in mind that it's heavy. in movies a gorilla suit has different masks, some lighter ones without mechanics for "stunt" and running scenes, and mechanical ones for close-ups.

Excuse me, but I have a bit of a question.. When you put on the mask, is there a place where you can look out of it? And if there is can you see well? Also how confortable would it be for the wearer? Sorry about all the questions but I find this kind of thing important.. ^^" The mechanics are very nice though, as well as the sculpting. It's very realistic.

on estimate,

how much do you say this whole project would cost to make?

including servos, tools and such

thanks,
