This is part II and III of Halloween: Go For Launch. Part I is at the following link: Halloween: Go For Launch PART II: THE G5C GEMINI SUIT 1. Before 2. After Suit: To go with the outdoor display theme props of a Gemini launch run by skeletons (see link), a matching costume was...

JWST now is going to be launched on December, 24. For those who want to watch it here is the link: Just a quick reminder. Webb's telescope will give us an opportunity to observe the Universe's first galaxies, reveal the birth of stars and planets, and look for exoplanets with the potential for...

Hello friends! I am a fairly novice costume maker and seeking advice. I am recreating the Northern Lights in costume-form. The base of the costumes are a holographic spandex (see below - the suits will be black, not white) and I will be painting with Jacquard Lumiere & Neopaque. Any advice on...

So after Lurking here for quite some time and becoming heavily inspired by the likes of Mung, Gattaca and Bauble and many others on the forum I can't remember the names of (sorry!) I finally decided to just go for it and start building stuff. This is pretty much my first attempt at modelling and...

I was looking for anyone who built a 'prop Replica of the "Planet of the Vampires" 1965 film - Prop Rifle. I was looking for the most accurate information - It is a ODD Ball piece - but I loved the film. It inspired the Alien film and many others. Very moody - SCI FI horror on a low budget -...

I’m currently a Model Making student at the National Film and Television school just outside London. Over the last five and a half weeks we have been busy building a 1:8 scale replica of base set from the film MOON. This was our first team project which was lead by John Lee (who actually...

This week I found a picture of a plutonium “pellet” that NASA uses to power everything from the Voyager spacecraft to Mars rovers. I found these little radioactive marshmallows beautiful and fascinating, - and I wanted my own. I researched the actual size and built one, complete with a NASA...

I’ve been lurking here for a while and after watching the Launch America coverage, I took a deep dive to don the superhero inspired SpaceX pressure suit. I soon discovered there weren’t too many fans that have taken up the challenge to make a high detail replica yet. With the help of many...

It started as a really cool gift idea, and begged the question how hard could it be to find a space helmet that doesn't look like a fishbowl turned upside down. Oh how quickly and deeply the rabbit hole went. In the process of fleshing out this idea it seems the only way to make this come to...

For the past years I've been working on designing and fabricating a spacesuit I’m going to use in a project called the Ceres program. I think I must have read everything on this forum involving spacesuits, starting with Ryan Nagata’s Apollo A7L build, so I must thank you for all your knowledge...

Hey guys, so I’m building a pair of Apollo era EVA gloves, and I’m currently scrambling the internet for photos and resources to measure and create patterns for my own pair of gloves. (Hundreds off photos so far and tons of measurements Currently, I’ve sourced some really good materials, and am...

Hey everyone. I've lurked on a couple other Apollo related projects and posted here and there, and just (finally) decided to make a new thread for it. Just like a lot of other people here, I was inspired by a perfect storm of the Apollo 11 50th anniversary, the work of Ryan Nagata, and reading...

Hey all Im looking to build the space suit from Danny Boyle's film from 2007 Sunshine. Its super unique so its probably gunna be a difficult one Its hard finding any reference online for it, i was wondering if anyone has images with better detail or even better some kind of 3d model. Any...

Im interested and planing on making the Alien Covenant Suit Adam Savage(Mythbusters/Tested) has worn, admired in the past! idk something about this suit really speaks to me, maybe its the green visor, maybe the carbon fiber... anyway! id love some help and maybe some people to bounce ideas off of.

Thought I'd share progress on this 3d model of the new version of the Space X helmet I have been slowly working on for the last few weeks. This is actually my second attempt at this helmet, but we aren't gonna talk about the first one...(it was real bad) My plan is to create a bust of this...

Hi all, I'm new to the forums, and am looking for some info on a project I'd like to start in the new year, being a replica of the space helmet used in 2001 A Space Odyssey. I'll be CAD modelling and printing the shell, and I'm looking for any resources. So far I've found some photos but no...

I’m embarking on making my own Apollo A7L Spacesuit replica. I certainly don’t expect to be up to Mr. Nagata level (it’s a holy grail for me to own one of his replicas someday), but hopefully I can make something reasonably accurate that can be made with what what I have available. I started...
