so i stumbed upon a Bricks Art Store (here in Portland), and it turns out they had some yellow filter plastic... similar to ones you'd use on stage lighting. I got a 18x24 sheet for $3....
Btw... i originally tried a clear plastic Visor i found at ace hardware (motorcycle-esq) for $6.99 and lightly spray painted it with gold... but the vision was just too blurred. You could only make out figures, no details... and because i want him to actually play with the mask (safely) i scrapped it and went with the yellow plastic filter. But here's what it looked like.
it looked cool, but wasn't too functional. Next time i'll probably just get a gold mask off of ebay for $20ish bucks and go that route.
