“I’ve been joking for years that if I ever ended up needing a CPAP mask, I’d incorporate it into a facehugger. Because obviously,” Jared Gray begins a recent blog entry on his website JaredIsGray.com, wherein he details the process of turning that joke into terrifying reality.
“Well, I was recently diagnosed with sleep apnea, and now have my own CPAP torture machine,” he continues. “Seriously, these things are awful and create as much discomfort as they prevent. So I may as well have some fun with this thing while it’s intruding on my life.”
To make the mask, Gray fused NECA’s life-size foam replica facehugger with his CPAP mask; in short, he gutted the inside of the facehugger and nestled the mask inside of it.
Gray notes that the mask is only a prototype right now, and that he’d have to refine it a bit if he were to start making them for others. So if you want one, it can’t hurt to drop him a line!
