So, here's the start of my thread to build an early Gemini helmet and eventually a suit...been doing a bunch of online research and wish I could find
more specific measurements of stuff, but I did find some images of what appears to be an early Gemini helmet with an over head plan view
that had a scale in the photo (score!)...I then cobbled together a kind of "blueprint" views photo to use as a guide to make my model...it's about 30 some inches square and
I had it printed out at a local Fedex-Kinkos for $4. bucks and change...(see attached)..
also, have been researching how to create the casting model and am liking this guys process to create it...this is a link to an instructable for a Daft Punk helmet...his technique for making an mdf frame to guide his styrofoam and bondo sculpt is interesting and helps with getting the right forms/shape pretty easily...any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
