Show me your Spacesuit

[BAK55]

There has been some discussion on the subject of spacesuits lately and I'm curious as to how many have created one for whatever reason. It may be fun to have a thread to have a collection of our efforts.

I quickly came up with this for a Halloween party awhile ago as Major Tom.

While my boyfriend and I don't have any spacesuits just yet, I have added to our ever-growing list of costume "wants" a 2001: A Space Odyssey spacesuit. We'd hafta go sans helmet as we can't (yet) justify spending the money it takes to get one. Our Discovery flightsuits will just have to do for now.

Didja get some chuckles for your Maj. Tom costume?

Would an ANSA (POTA) Astronaut "flightsuit" count?
Or just "Spacesuit"?
I'm working on a "spacesuit", but may be awhile.

Larry!,... wheres Larry??

Sorry, Dave; I skipped out for an adult beverage.

Funny you should ask.
The Haloween party was held at a hotel. The problem was I had to walk through a wedding reception that spilled into the hallway on my way to where the party was and for some reason (Because I had the visor down at the time.) they thought I was one of their friends showing up in costume. A number of ladies broke out in song, "Ground Control to Major Tom." I met the friend who they mistook me for later, and he was clearly taller than me. Figure that one out.

I did have one fellow exclaim my idea for the character was "Brilliant!"

Here's the missus sporting the Ed Miarecki 1999 suit. She had a wicked case of the flu, and yet still managed a smile for this picture. She turns a blind eye to my shenanigans.

Did you buy that suit, or make it? If you made it I'm very interested in how you accomplished the bellows on the neck seal.

It's an Ed Miarecki suit.

Looks like he just molded the rubber; send him an email... he might still have the molds. Maybe he can even do it in black for your Satan's Pit suit.

Here's a pic my pal Ian did for a photo essay he did called EVA, wearing my spacesuit around town (in front of the Golden Gate Bridge, buying Tang at a supermarket, like that). But this one's my favorite:

...and I'm sure I posted this in the Mission to Mars thread:

I gotta get the measurements for a best-guess on the helmet greeblie I need and see if zenix can't 3D it for me.

Not my suit, but someone who is as obsessed with exact details as anyone on the RPF:

I've said it before and I'll say it again: those suits and helmets are ace.

Id like to have the suit from Red Planet. Always liked the design and color of that costume.
