Space Suit Maker?

[Deke29]

Anyone know where I can buy a space suit? Not a NASA suit but a more futuristic suit? I need one for a short film I'm making. Thanks!

Here is a Videotutorial for a cheap one.
You can use the same technique to make more complex suites.

Global Effects have a ton of various suit designs, but their rentals may be beyond your budget.

Thanks for the tips. I'm hoping to purchase something and not rent it. I kick myself that I hadn't thought of movie costumes sooner as there was a nifty space suit from the film "Supernova" up for auction just a month ago. That would have done the job nicely.

If I am creating my own helmet, what's the typical method used for a clear visor? I've done a lot of mold making and casting, but I assume a visor would best be vacuum formed from some heat-pliable material.

I would search some seamstresses on Etsy! As for the helmet, I would suggest finding a spherical piece of a transparant plexiglass or something of the like, you wont need a full sphere. Do you have any concept art of this?
