WOW!! The spine to the knife is awesome, very detailed! You must have a pretty nice telescope or some crystal clear skies to see all of that. We have one as well and never see much..

Very nice looking helmet! I have been following this build for a while and I must say you have come a long way, and I am very impressed! I look forward to its completion.

@sandbagger: that looks like the Horsehead Nebula/part of the Orion Nebula - beautiful deep-space photo.I have a (121x90cm) picture on canvas of the Andromeda Galaxy in the bedroom,and about 1500 glow-in-the-dark stars on the ceiling (and 1500 more to go to cover the entire ceiling 
facepalm).
One documentary I would definitely recommend is Journey to the edge of the Universe from National geographic.

No mate. I wish I had one, but I feel most of this work is a little too fine and fiddly for an English wheel anyway.

Did a bit of work with the boots this week. I haven't had much time.
I finished welding up all the joins and seams, added some bottom plates to glue on the tread. Cut away a part of the top so I can get my leather boots in. This piece will re-attach with some tabs and bolts later.
I cut some circles out of thick aluminium to bulk out the foot pivot. Later I have to cut some notches in them for movie-accuracy.
To raise the overall height of the suit, I will be welding in a false bottom in the heel about an inch above the bottom.
Tried them on and found them to be pretty comfortable and the foot rolls well. There's a slight pinch on the back of the Achilles tendon from the rigid steel, but I peined it out on a tow-ball so now it's got a rounded edge against the back of my foot. Little adjustments along the way and it will be fine.

Found a special brush to go on the bench grinder that removes scale and rust and leaves a brushed satin finish to the steel.
I'm ready to start installing the servos for the faceplate and then the lighting.
