Thanks for the feedback, guys. The eponymous Henry from Henry's Helmet Fans sent me the STL files for adapters that should allow me to run tubing into the mask. I'm going to go for that, plus the vest and hopefully that will be enough.

Yes, I have a ROTS & ROTJ pike on the way from Endor Armory. Hopefully I'll be geared up in a few weeks.
