![]() Ever since the Sino-Japanese War when the IJA were tormented by sub zero temperatures exploding the IJA’s canteens of water, they understood the temperatures there to be a savage enemy. However, the same could not be said of the weather conditions in China. The Chinese were far behind in preparing for chemical warfare, so their troops were not really a factor in gas mask development. The army was quite active in patenting their work for the Type 95 gas mask, and they also patented a stretcher mould to keep the mask in shape as well as a Japanese version of what the Germans called the Maskenbrille, eyeglasses that had a rubberized headband for wear with the mask, which could be exchanged with proper folding metal temples (arms that hook onto the ear) for daily wear.ĭevelopment Challenges for the Gas Mask in the late 1930s ![]() The anti-fogging lens was then seated in the eye aperture and the glass and ring needed to be put back on.Īn antifreeze solution in a thin flask was also newly added to the accessory lineup from the Type 95 to shore up defenses against the savagely cold climate of Manchuria. When the eyepiece was a standard model without a fixing ring for the anti-fogging covers, the ring holding the glass needed to be turned counter-clockwise to be removed, and then the glass could be popped out. Type 87 and 91 also required screwdrivers in the disassembly process to remove spring-rings and bushings for taking the glass out for replacing. Enjoy, we guess.Early model masks (Types 87) needed disassembly of the eyepiece for installing the anti-fogging covers, but those equipped with an observer’s eyepiece or set up with an attachment ring for the cover (Type 91) did not require to be taken apart. Between the unique imagery and Kontan Chok's music, the already existing surreal atmosphere is only enhanced, making this a unique watch that's both captivating and unnerving. That gives the whole project an entirely new dimension and a somewhat unsettling mood. However, as you get closer to the bottom of this page, you'll notice there is also a video, as those images are actually stills from an animation created by les83machines. Finding any other link between these two worlds is impossible, which is what makes his images all the more striking. His project is called "PetrolTribes" and is nothing more than a mix between two of the author's passions: cars-particularly classic cars, in this case, featuring a Mustang, a Porsche 911, a Ferrari F40, a VW Käfer, and a Mercedes-Benz-and tribal masks. They come from an artist we've featured before who goes by the alias of les83machines, but even by his very high standards, these sit at least one level above. ![]() We're not exactly short on renderings on autoevolution, yet rarely do they truly reach the artistic value of the ones you'll find in this gallery. Or that some pieces aren't absolutely brilliant. However, that doesn't mean some art isn't better than others. The idea is that nobody should be discouraged to try and even persevere in their artistic endeavors because you never know where that may lead. Or that our voices don't sound good enough to go into music, and so on. As we grow up, we're told that if we can't draw a round circle, we don't have a knack for visual arts. And there's one other great thing about art, and it's the fact that anyone can do it.
