I was shopping for one of my Son's Christmas gifts and found these shirts. Thought some of you might be interested in them - both $20.99: Kneeling Master Chief Master Chief in the City

You can get them from Racer Wholesale. They specialize in auto racing supplies. Or you can search for BALACLAVA in Google. They are thin and made of nomex or some other fire retardant material. Some manufacturers make them with two eye ports. It depends on the look and feel you are going for.

I saw an advert on the TV the other day about some kind of 'toy' night vision goggles so I searched the internet. A company has a version of night vision goggles named EyeClops for about $68.88US on amazon.com. I read a review on another site that said they worked pretty well. Might be able...

My Son wanted a sniper rifle to haul around with his MC costume this Halloween. He has his first contest tonight so it was a sleepless night. The barrels are from an old pool skimmer. There were three sections of telescoping tubing. The outer one had the ridges on it and worked great for...
