Interestingly this '70s Russian home movie camera, Zenit Quartz 2x8c-3, would look right at home as an accessory to that suit.

Thank you. I downloaded the catalog. If you ever post the rest of the hi-rez images online, I'd love to get those too.

I just compared your backpack to some images of a screen-used example and I'm very impressed. A lot of replicas get close but something about the proportions or where the details are in relation to others is usually out of whack. But on yours, wherever a corner or line intersects with another detail seems to be spot on. I can really tell you were closely scrutinizing the little things.
A quick look at progress... a few more laser cut items and I'll start priming, puttying, sanding, repeat...
I'm doing some similar upgrades to details like the helmet instead of screen accurate, like the use of windows with "displays" instead of painted on, and integrating the hinge a bit cleaner into the top.

I bought the Clavius Base decals of of EBAY, wanted the blue to be the same and found that Rustoleum Sail Blue is a great match. Its maybe not quite screen accurate, but looks the part in person. As I did with the blue parts of the helmet, I plan to build up a thick surface of many blue coats, wet sand, then satin clear coat. The finish is really nice on the helmet parts done this way.Wow!! What an update

Really love this thread, just very annoyed with myself for being very late to the gig. Back in 2005 one of the white helmets was sold on E-Bay for $21,000. My friend recorded all the sales photos (at a time before I could open a file on a PC haha) Please find attached here for reference. Thank you for the great thread.
