Sorry, I hadnt noticed that there has been guestions.
Glove rings are just ordinary steel flanges (used in sewage) and over them is steel duct piece.
This combination looks very functional, but is not 100% realistic.
I have had several hardship with this project since last post. I had to search new mdf ring maker (first one was too busy now) and sixt company/person was first one who agreed to make neck ring base. Getting visors done seem to become a nightmare too. Company who agreed to make these in first place, cant or wont make visors. Another companies wont do single items or would charge ridiculous sum (even if molds are ready!). I am in big trouble, If I wont find experienced hobbyist or completely new company who would make visors. Last option would be building my own vacuum former. The problem is that I have only 5 weeks left:unsure
Helmet looks like this now. Next I will start to built visor molds.
Here is something interresting for fellow ACES suit builders: It is possible to buy same shoes that astronauts used. They had Rocky 911 boots with flat wibram soles. 8" Plain Toe Boot is the right model.
Vac former was built during easter holiday. Visor mold needs still lots of sanding, but I think it will get ready in time. I still have a week...
I do have all suit parts now, but assembly is not ready.
Neck ring will be ready tomorrow and then suit will be ready. Hopefully helmet will get ready tuesday. I will send lots of images then.
These controllers and valves are now ready. Controller is made of sculpey and old parts. Angle valve is copper, sculpey and aluminium. Flange is machined aluminium.
Both are unfotunately 10% larger than in life.
