    NASA Spacesuit fittings - High fidelity replicas

    Hello Imgill, I just watched the three episodes about your shop and the space suits on Adam Savage’s channel. What I took away from it: a passionate man, an artist — and, as we say down here in the south of France, a "fada" (of course, not in the negative sense!). I would really love to...

    Thank you for answer Imgill, you're really reactive I took the liberty of recovering a photo on ebay where you can see the complete neck ring. Could you please tell me the different measures.. I can't figure out visually if the whole thing is "high" (everything is relative) or not? Thank...

    Thank you for you answer Imgill In the simplest terms, the compression band clamp is a bit like this: (I was given a height of 1.10 in including the ribbed part (lower part) and the upper part (mobil) of the neck ring, is this correct, can you confirm ? thank in advance)

    Hello Imgill, I hope you're well From what I understand from what you have written: you are a specialist in pressure suits. (or I may be wrong) let's say you are, and that's good because I need a specialist's opinion. while browsing the discussions about the mythical A7L pressure suit, I came...

    Thank you for your prompt reply Indeed, I would be interested in buying a Class I replica when they become available. your 3D diagrams are very very very interesting. I've always tried to understand how connectors work. are they designed like the real thing?

    I just came across this thread and ... WOUAH !!!! What a wonderful job, what a rendering close to perfection For your information, please tell me how much an A7L pressure suit connector would cost. You write (and I quote) : "I have also been working on Apollo gas connectors, also modelled...
