Description Eng:
Next Chemistry Project! 8D
We have to make a board or card game to review units (due Thursday) and my Dad had the brilliant idea to link it to WWI. YEEEEES~ He's such a smart, awesome guy. 8D
I love the history of WWI, particularly the epic uniforms <333, so I'm actually really excited. XD
So these are the covers for the question cards- WITH GAS MASKS! WWI was nicknamed the Chemist's War because of the use of Chemical Gases, the most notorious being Mustard Gas, throughout the war.
So Red is British Helmet, Green is French Helmet, Purple is supposed to be Russian but it's fail. ;~;, and the best one if the German Helmet~ <3333 Ironically, the first one I did. XD I'm really happy with how they came out. 8DD

...I'm going to ditch the rest of my homework and play Call of Duty: Finest Hour now- it's WW2, but it's an awesome game and WW2 is awesome history studying too. >D

Esp:
Estas son Mascaras de Gas de La Primera Guerra Mundial para mi proyecto de Quimica- llamaron la PGM la Guerra de los Quimicos porque usaron tantos gases letales.
Rojo tiene el casco de los Britanicos, Verde el casco Frances, Morado el casco Russo (supestamente, pero salio feo), y el azul (y el mejor <3 ) es el casco Aleman.
Estoy muy feliz~ Salieron bien! 8D

Port:
...
Gua, que droga, preciso terminar minha licao.
Depois faco~

** The intro for my project:

War is hell.
That’s what they drilled into your head each and every day as they pushed your mind and body to the brink of collapse, isn’t it? Quite a contrast from what your professor fed you right before you graduated, stories of glories and martyrdom: Dulce et decorum est, pro patri mori (). Death to the invaders- the prayer on your mother’s lips, the dying wish of your father, the battle cry of your brother, the frightened sob of your little sister in the dark, the enraged roar of your homeland.
War is hell, where the very air you breathe can kill you.
Crouching in your filthy trench, rats scurrying across your legs with pieces of the newest recruit clutched between their teeth, bullets whizzing over your head and shells shaking the muddy earth you’re standing on to the very core. The night sky explodes in bright bursts of color and the air is filled with the dying screams of the wounded, silenced within moments by the louder booms. The smell of destruction and decay permeates everything, and you hold your breath and continue to wait for your superior officer to order a counterattack
That isn’t enough.
It is the smell of pain and agony, despair and anguish, calamity and misery. It burns at the skin and destroys the lungs, ripping your body apart from the inside. It is Phosgene and Mustard Gas. It is science with the mask of death.
Chemical Weapons.
Responsible for the death of over 100,000 of your countrymen.
Chemical Weapons.
Responsible for the disfigurement of 1.2 million, including your best friends.
You need protection.
Gas Mask. Flannel. Celluloid lenses. Connects to oxygen canister. Protection for the entire head, including neck area. Impregnated with urotropine and and sodium phenolate for added effectiveness.
One size fits all.

This is an awesome idea It's cool to see the different masks all together too for comparison purposes; I always thought the one with the British helmet was hilarious XD It always looked like some weird elephant person to me, lolol.

Achird In reply to Ace-Zaslavsky [2010-05-07 23:34:10 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! 8D I thought it might be refreshing since most of them had no theme.
I'm not sure how accurate they are though- some of the photos I used as reference were kind of grainy and my eyesight is... less than ideal. XD;
Yes! I thought the same thing! XD

British gas masks and their elephants noses~ I wonder if it's a reference to India? XD

I'm so happy to hear that- I love Gas Masks too! 8D There's something so sinisterly awesome about them. <3
I want one too. ;~; And I would just randomly walk around with one if I got one. XD
Yes! They're all based on actual gas masks used in WWI, including that purple one- it was kinda grainy though, so a few artistic liberties.
Thank you so much! <3

I had to draw a propaganda poster, and I drawed a soldier, but, I pretty much failed. XDD!
but I think the uniform and hat came out nicely. ~

And yes, gas masks are amazing!
I want one so bad. XDD
with a kick-ass steam punk style.

I love both WWI and WWII. WWII has the best games for the Gamecube~ Grah. <3333

I know. ;D
Have you read/seen All Quiet on the Western Front? Now that is a terrific WWI movie. <3 I recommend Cross of Iron for WWII. ...Both the German perspective. XD;
Oh, yes, the uniforms were awesome! 8D Nowadays they're so ugly. ;~; But back then, even in WWII, they were so cool~ In fact, my OC Valeska runs around with a Polish WWI uniform as a tribute to how epically awesome they are. Mmmmm~ <333

Ditto!
Lawl, gas masks are ridiculously epic. If I had one, I'd wear it all the time. <3
YEAH!

This is so thrilling, we like so many of the same things! 8D

8DDDDDDD


YES! 8D
Oh Lawd, I looooooved my poor little Gamecube. <33333
I've had the best times with it, playing against my Dad and my sister. 8D
Yup! Call of Duty: Finest Hour, Medal of Honor, and Medal of Honor: Rising Sun particularly. I still joke with my Dad about them regularly. XD
"The soup is delicious! "
In one of them, you have to infiltrate a Nazi party ( lol- pun! XD ) and in the kitchen there's this crazy cook who throws knives at you- they hurt really bad. And then there's this random drunk in the middle of the room- you can shoot him or not, but when you come back he's gone. So I always kill him so he won't come back later with his NAZI RAEG! of drunkenness. owo
Lord of the Rings games are also a ton of fun. 8DDDDDD
Campaign multi-player rocks!

I want to infiltrate a 'Communist' party next! 8D

Yes, you can get health from food you find, and the soup is always delicious and health-giving. XD
It is. ;D

Oh, no, I still have it, safe and sound in my room. <3
It's just we have the Wii hooked up to the bigger TV downstairs, and that's also nearer to the food, so I tend to gravitate down there.
I still use it, though. <3
